Dear Voltini, Please, do not forget a very important part of Conservation Biology that have been neglected in many Con Bio courses: Conservation Genetics. For that a very good start book is Introduction to Conservation Biology - Frankham, Ballou and Briscoe.

Dear friends, I will teach conservation biology in 2014 for undergraduate Biology students and the library in my University is requesting the list of books. I am thinking to use one good book and I like very much Groom et al. 2005 but I am wating for a new edition and it seems to be a hard book for undergraduate students. I am feeling that Hunter & Gibbs (2006) could be a good textbook for undergraduate courses and I would like to receive suggestions please! The main textbooks in this area are listed below: Essentials of Conservation Biology, 5th Ed by Richard B. Primack (2010) Principles of Conservation Biology, 3rd Ed by Groom, Meffe, Carroll (2005) A Primer of Conservation Biology, 5th Ed by Primack (2012) Fundamentals of Conservation Biology, 3rd by Hunter and Gibbs (2006) A Primer of Conservation Biology, 4th Ed by Primack (2008) Conservation Biology for All by Sodhi and Ehrlich (2010) Conservation Biology: Foundations, Concepts, Applications by Van Dyke (2010) Conservation Biology by Pullin (2002) Thanks for any help!
