Video Surveillance of Nesting Birds Hardback
Edited by Christine Ann Ribic, Frank Richard Thompson, Pamela Jo Pietz
Part of the Studies in Avian Biology series
Hardback
Description
Declining bird populations, especially those that breed in North American grasslands, have stimulated extensive research on factors that affect nest failure and reduced reproductive success.
Until now, this research has been hampered by the difficulties inherent in observing nest activities.
Video Surveillance of Nesting Birds highlights the use of miniature video cameras and recording equipment yielding new important and some unanticipated insights into breeding bird biology, including previously undocumented observations of hatching, incubation, fledging, diurnal and nocturnal activity patterns, predator identification, predator-prey interactions, and cause-specific rates of nest loss.
This seminal contribution to bird reproductive biology uses tools capable of generating astonishing results with the potential for fresh insights into bird conservation, management, and theory.
