9780198546924: Bird Migration: A General Survey (Oxford Ornithology Series)

Synopsis

An accessible description of the science of bird migration. Berthold not only outlines the incredible stamina and navigation skills of birds in their seasonal movements, but he also discusses recent ideas, hypotheses, experimental results, and methods in this fascinating field. The book provides an overall sense of how we know what we know. There are twelve chapters, including information on types of migration, migratory behaviour, physiological adaptations, orientation mechanisms and navigation, and conservation needs of migrants. For birdwatchers and naturalists, as well as professional ornithologists, this book will inspire a new appreciation and understanding of migrating birds.

About the book >.>.> If geomorphological factors influence the migratory direction of migrants they are called leading lines. If broad-front migration is led by leading lines we speak of guided broad fronts. Very strong canalization of broad-front migration by leading lines may lead to mass migration, and, in areas where this occurs regularly, migration corridors or flyways develop. The Gourish Spit is an excellent example of a European flyway. On this isthmus migration is canalized in such an impressive way that it was chosen as the site of the first German bird observatory (3). In North America four distinct flyways have developed, mainly in waterfowl species, through the effect of leading lines and canalization, namely the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific flyways. The East Atlantic flyway developed between northern Siberia and northern Europe and West Africa, and wader migrations in particular have been studied along it extensively for the past thirty years (Piersma et al. 1987). Mass migration routes may coincide with ma. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM620-VG-12970
