Description
Temperature and other climate variables are currently changing at a dramatic rate. Birds are excellent model organisms, with a very active
metabolism, they are highly sensitive to environmental changes and as highly mobile creatures they are also extremely reactive. This
book discusses our current knowledge of observed changes and provides guidelines for studies in the years to come so we can document
and understand how patterns of changing weather conditions may affect birds. The various chapters are written by leading experts in these
fields and enlighten a broad range of aspects in bird ecology.
Audience:
Professional ornithologists, conservation biologists, researchers and students in bird ecology. Anyone with interest in bird biology.
