Info autore
Peter Dunn is an avian ecologist and geneticist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He obtained his PhD in 1989 at the University of Alberta where he studied the mating behaviour and ecology of tree swallows. Throughout his career, Dr. Dunn has been interested in the effects of food abundance on reproductive success and mating behavior. In 1997, after reading about the effects of climate change on birds in England, Dr.Dunn initiated the first large-scale study of the effects of climate warming on birds in North America, and he is currently examining the effects of warming on long-term trends in insect abundance.
Anders Pape Møller obtained a PhD in zoology at Aarhus University, Denmark in 1985, on social behaviour in barn swallows. Dr. Møller has broad research interests in ecology, radioecology, evolution, genetics and global change biology. He has conducted more than ten long-term studies of birds, insects and other organisms since the late 1970's.
Riassunto
This new edition provides an exhaustive and up-to-date synthesis of the rapidly expanding literature on birds and climate change.
Testo aggiuntivo
[The authors] do an excellent job of reviewing conceptual and practical approaches that link the science of climate change ecology to bird conservation practice...bringing the major themes in avian climate change biology together under one roof is an important achievement.
