Description

As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife.

Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution.

It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts.

Thisaccessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues.

It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edgeresearch on these areas. Avian Urban Ecology is suitable for professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation.

It will also be of relevance and use to a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists.
