Online resources: Summary: L. Devere Burton’s Fish & Wildlife: Principles of Zoology and Ecology provides a foundational overview of animal biology and the ecological relationships that shape wildlife populations. The book integrates core concepts from zoology—such as animal classification, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and evolution—with ecological principles like population dynamics, energy flow, habitat interactions, and ecosystem balance. A central theme is the interdependence between organisms and their environments. Burton explains how factors such as climate, food availability, predation, and human activity influence the distribution and survival of fish and wildlife species. The text also emphasizes conservation, highlighting the impact of overexploitation, habitat destruction, and pollution, while discussing sustainable management practices. Overall, the book serves as an introductory guide for students and practitioners in wildlife biology, conservation, and environmental science, combining scientific theory with practical insights into managing and protecting natural resources http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/148
