Essential Ornithology
Essential Ornithology provides the reader with a concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of birds, one of the most widely studied taxonomic groups. Development, anatomy, and physiology are then discussed followed by chapters devoted to avian reproduction, migration, ecology, and conservation. The book begins by considering the dinosaur origins of birds and their subsequent evolution.
There is also a greater focus on North American ornithology. Sections dealing with aspects of bird/human relationships and bird conservation give the book an applied context.This new edition has been thoroughly updated, providing new information from rapidly-developing fields including the avian fossil record, urban and agricultural ecology, responses to climate change, invasive species biology, technologies to track movement, avian disease, and the role of citizen scientists.
