%X In their book Effective Ecological Monitoring, David Lindenmayer and Gene Likens set out to demonstrate the importance of long-term ecological monitoring programmes, as well as presenting what they propose to be a new paradigm, ?adaptive monitoring?. In a brief introduction, they set up a framework for discussing ecological monitoring by arguing that monitoring can be categorized into one of three main types, curiosity-driven (passive) monitoring, mandated monitoring or question-driven monitoring, the latter of which they strongly suggest has the most merit. The book is then structured around three main chapters, ?Why monitoring fails?, ?What makes long-term monitoring effective?? and ?The problematic, the effective and the ugly ? some case studies?, and rounded off with a concluding chapter.
