In this intensely practical handbook, a team of leading ornithologists describe a wide range of standard methods that can be applied to the study of avian ecology and conservation. Topics covered range from surveys and tracking and handling to breeding biology, foraging behavior, and migration. Chapters on conservation techniques describe how to assess species over-exploitation, the methods available for the intensive conservation of endangered species, and the principles involved in the maintenance and restoration of habitats. This comprehensive synthesis will be essential reading for graduate students and researchers as well as a valuable resource for environmental consultants and professional conservationists worldwide. Bird Ecology and Evolution is the first title in a new series of practical handbooks which include titles focusing on specific taxonomic groups as well as those describing broader themes and subjects. William J. Sutherland is the series editor.

About the book >.>.> We decided to produce this book, as we were aware of the difficulties of providing information on the methods available to field ornithologists or conservationists. We also believed that the difficulties of accessing methodology were hindering the development of the science and the enactment of effective conservation. Thus when we were asked how to conduct a project involving say foraging behavior or breeding biology, we could point out a few papers and describe some methods, but had no source that would outline the major techniques in a comprehen-sive manner. Our target audiences are young biologists starting a research or conservation project involving birds, or more established researchers who may be familiar with some but not all of the more useful methods available. This is the first in an intended series of books devoted to methods in ecology and conservation. Each book will either treat a taxonomic group, as this book does, or a broad subject area. We also thank the authors for their efforts and, not least, Codice articolo Batch-FM625-VG-13034
