eavers can and do dramatically
À
r~ change the landscape. The
Ьеач^ег
gi jL·^ is a keystone species
—
their skills
as foresters and engineers create and
maintain ponds and wetlands that in¬
crease biodiversity, purify water, and pre¬
vent large-scale flooding. Biologists have
long studied their daily and seasonal rou¬
tines, family structures, and dispersal pat¬
terns. As human development encroaches
into formerly wild areas, property owners
and government authorities need new,
nonlethal strategies for dealing with so-
called nuisance beavers. At the same time,
the complex behavior of beavers intrigues
visitors at parks and other wildlife view¬
ing sites because it is relatively easy to
observe.
In an up-to-date, exhaustively illus¬
trated, and comprehensive book on beaver
biology and management,
Dietland
Müller-Seh
warze
and Lfadng Sun gather a
wealth of scientific knowledge about both
the North American and Eurasian beaver
species.
Tlie
Beaver is designed to satisfy
the curiosity and answer the questions of
anyone with an interest in these animals,
from students who enjoy watching beaver
ponds at nature centers to homeowners
who hope to protect their landscaping.
Photographs taken by the authors docu¬
ment every aspect of beaver behavior and
biology, the variety of their constructions,
and the habitats that depend on their
presence.
