| Description: |
Now available in paperback, this important book is even more accessible. Reviewing our current understanding of avian population dynamics, it explores ways in which population studies can contribute to effective conservation and management. It reviews general questions such as estimation of demographic parameters, the role of mathematical modelling, and the special problems of island populations and seabird populations. Case studies highlight characteristics and problems specific to populations of song birds, seabirds, waterfowl, game birds, and birds of prey. The emphasis throughout is on how bird populations are regulated under various constraints and conditions and on what changes we might expect under varying environmentalregimes - invaluable for all concerned with conservation and management of birds and wildlife in particular. |
| Synopsis: |
There are more than one-thousand species of threatened birds in the world, while many others are valued for sport and some are serious pests. All these bird populations require management of one kind or another. This volume reviews our current understanding of avian population dynamics and explores ways in which population studies can contribute to effective conservation and management. The earlier chapters review general questions such as estimation of demographic parameters, the role of mathematical modelling, and the special problems of island populations and seabird populations. The specific chapters are devoted to great tits, snow geese, white storks, puffins, flamingos, grey partridge, red grouse, common terns, herring gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, ducks, Florida scrub jays, and northern spotted owls. The emphasis throughout is on how bird populations are regulated under various constraints and conditions and on what changes we might expect under varying environmental regimes. |
