• 1. Farming and wildlife: a perspective on a shared future ; 2. From weed reservoir to wildlife resource-redefining arable field margins ; 3. How can field margin management contribute to invertebrate biodiversity? ; 4. Small mammals on lowland farmland ; 5. Agri-environment schemes and the future of farmland bird conservation ; 6. Does organic farming affect biodiversity? ; 7. Farming for the future: optimizing farming systems for society and the environment ; 8. Landscape-scale conservation of farmland moths ; 9. Habitat use by vesper bats: disentangling local and landscape-scale effects within lowland farmland ; 10. Local and landscape scale management of Odonata ; 11. Freshwaters and farming: impacts of land use and management on the biodiversity of rivers and ditches ; 12. Local and landscape-scale impacts of woodland management on wildlife ; 13. Improving reintroduction success of the Grey Partridge using behavioural studies ; 14. Water vole restoration in the Upper Thames ; 15. What does conservation research do, when should it stop, and what do we do then? Questions answered with water voles. ; 16. What next? Rewilding as a radical future for the British countryside

It is remarkable that these diverse studies are edited to generate such a great coherence. [...] Taken together, this volume fills an important gap, since it links vital aspects for policy, conservation, and management with a nuanced overview building on local to regional examples. In times of ever shorter publications, this book is a valuable contribution. It provides diverse and layered information, just as the topic of wildlife conservation in farmland that it focuses on.
