Further, carrion consumption by scavengers, i.e. scavenging, supports key ecosystem functions and services such as recycling nutrients and energy, disposing of carcasses and regulating disease spread. Yet, unlike dead plant matter, dead animal decomposition has received little attention in the fields of ecology, wildlife conservation and environmental management, and as a result the management of carrion for maintaining biodiversity and functional ecosystems has been limited. This book addresses the main ecological patterns and processes relating to the generation and consumption of carrion both in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It also discusses a number of conservation concerns and associated management issues, particularly regarding the increasing role of human-mediated carrion in ecosystems. Lastly, the book outlines future research lines in carrion ecology and management, and identifies the major challenges for scavengers and scavenging processes in the Anthropocene. 000913373 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 27, 2019). 000913373 650_0 $$aAnimal carcasses. 000913373 650_0 $$aAnimal carcasses$$xBiodegradation. 000913373 7001_ $$aOlea, Pedro P.,$$eeditor. 000913373 7001_ $$aMateo-Tomás, Patricia,$$eeditor. 000913373 7001_ $$aSánchez Zapata, José Antonio.$$eeditor. 000913373 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030164997 000913373 830_0 $$aWildlife research monographs. 000913373 852__ $$bebk 000913373 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-16501-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000913373 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:913373$$pGLOBAL_SET 000913373 980__ $$aEBOOK 000913373 980__ $$aBIB 000913373 982__ $$aEbook 000913373 983__ $$aOnline 000913373 994__ $$a92$$bISE
