Birds of New Guinea - Distribution, Taxonomy, and SystematicsPevná vazba
New Guinea, the largest tropical island, supports a spectacular bird fauna characterized by cassowaries, megapodes, pigeons, parrots, kingfishers, and owlet-nightjars, as well as the iconic birds of paradise and bowerbirds. This comprehensive annotated checklist of distribution, taxonomy, and systematics of the birds of New Guinea is the first formal review of this avifauna since Ernst Mayr's Checklist, published in 1941. Of the nearly 800 species of birds recorded from New Guinea, more than 350 are found nowhere else on Earth.
This new book brings together all the systematic, taxonomic, and distributional research conducted on the region's bird families over the last 70 years.
