Conservation Biology and Applied Zooarchaeology, edited by Steve Wolverton (UNT Geography) and R. Lee Lyman (University of Missouri) will be released this fall. The book is designed to show how zooarchaeology can productively inform conservation science. Conservation Biology and Applied Zooarchaeology offers a set of case studies that use animal remains from archaeological and paleontological sites to provide information that has direct implications for wildlife management and conservation biology. It introduces conservation biologists to zooarchaeology, a sub-field of archaeology and ethnobiology, and provides a brief historical account of the development of applied zooarchaeology.
