From time immemorial, we as humans have been intrigued by, perplexed by, and entertained by observing and analyzing ourselves and the natural world around us. Science and technology have evolved to a point where we can empirically record a measure of a biological or behavioral feature and use it for recognizing patterns, trends, and or discrete phenomena, such as individuals—and this is what biometrics is all about. Understanding some of the ways in which we use biometrics and for what specific purposes is what this book is all about.

Throughout the nine chapters of this book, an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers will enable you to become familiar with the birth and growth of biometrics in ecology (Chapter 1) and how it has reproduced, in a sense, off spring that are quite diverse—from applications in individual human identification (Chapters 2 through 6) to technologic improvements in obtaining information or securing privacy in large bodies of data (Chapters 7 through 9). Whereas each chapter focuses on a definitive aspect of biometrics; the book as a whole is an amalgamation of examples of state of the art research within the biometrics paradigm.
