Little Owl
Our understanding of the basic biology of owls is poor compared to that of other bird species. In this unique book the authors synthesise the substantial literature, and detail current information regarding the Little Owl. The Little Owl, Athene noctua, has become one of the best models for biological and conservation research, due to its commonness and the fact that it occupies nest-boxes very easily.
In addition, they outline a strategy and monitoring program for its conservation. They discuss its wide-ranging ecology, genetics and subspecies and population status by country. The book features an outstanding bibliography of literature on the Little Owl, listing publications dated from 1769 to 2007, in many languages, including Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch.
Whilst being an invaluable resource for academic researchers, its straightforward style holds undoubted appeal for amateurs and enthusiasts.
