Description
Temperature and other climate variables are currently changing at a dramatic rate. As observations have shown, these climatic changes
have serious consequences for all organisms and their ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. 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. Birds and Climate Change 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.
Audience
Scientists and academicians studying ecology, evolution, plant biology, physiology, the environment, population biology, and entomology.
