About the Book

The first edition of Carrion Ecology, Evolution, and Their Applications brought together multiple scientific disciplines to shed light on the importance of carrion within the context of ecology and evolutionary biology, and through applications ranging from human mass disasters to habitat/ecosystem conservation. This second edition builds upon this foundation to include a huge amount of new research, consisting of 33 chapters, nine brand new and the remaining 24 substantially updated and expanded. One of the most significant changes for this edition is the coverage of aquatic ecosystems, both freshwater and marine. The book is now represented by 73 authors from eight countries, incorporating more diverse perspectives and engagement to this multidisciplinary and expanding science. The resulting new edition showcases a broader scope of topics, geographic areas, ecosystems and history of carrion ecology, evolution and their applications for humanity. It provides the most comprehensive resource on carrion from all ecosystems of the world. The student, academic and professional will find this book insightful and new for the fields of molecular ecology, microbiology, entomology, population biology, community and ecosystem ecology, as well as applications in forensics and human and environmental health.
