This book presents an up-to-date, detailed and thorough review of the most fascinating ecological findings of bird migration. It deals with all aspects of this absorbing subject, including the problems of navigation and vagrancy, the timing and physiological control of migration, the factors that limit their populations, and more. Author, Ian Newton, reveals the extraordinary adaptability of birds to the variable and changing conditions across the globe, including current climate change. This adventurous book places emphasis on ecological aspects, which have received only scant attention in previous publications. Overall, the book provides the most thorough and in-depth appraisal of current information available, with abundant tables, maps and diagrams, and many new insights. Written in a clear and readable style, this book appeals not only to migration researchers in the field and Ornithologists, but to anyone with an interest in this fascinating subject.

Описание

I. Newton – The Migration Ecology of Birds — фундаментальное научное издание, посвященное одному из самых сложных и впечатляющих явлений в мире животных. Книга подробно рассматривает, почему и как птицы совершают сезонные перелеты, какие факторы влияют на маршруты, сроки и успех миграций.

Автор анализирует физиологические механизмы ориентации и навигации, влияние климатических изменений, питания, хищников и человеческой деятельности на миграционное поведение. Особое внимание уделено современным методам исследований: геолокаторам, спутниковому слежению и генетическому анализу популяций.
