Wildlife Research

Aims & Scope

Wildlife Research represents an international forum for the publication of research and debate on the ecology, management and conservation of wild animals in natural and modified habitats.

The journal combines basic research in wildlife ecology with advances in science-based management practice.

Readers can expect a range of papers covering well-structured field studies, manipulative experiments, and analytical and modelling studies.

All articles aim to improve the practice of wildlife management and contribute conceptual advances to our knowledge and understanding of wildlife ecology
