	Predator Ecology: Evolutionary Ecology of the Functional Response £34.99 John P. DeLong 9780192895516 Paperback September 2021 Predator-prey interactions are ubiquitous, govern the flow of energy up trophic levels, and strongly influence the structure of ecological systems. They are typically quantified using the functional response - the relationship between a predator's foraging rate and the availability of food.
	Conservation Technology £37.99 Serge A. Wich, Alex K. Piel 9780198850250 Paperback August 2021 The first comprehensive text to describe the breadth of available technology for conservation and to evaluate its varied applications, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches.
