Control of Bird Migration

This volume fills a real gap. Before now there existed no compilation to summarize the enormous wealth of data and hypotheses elaborated in the huge research field on the control mechanisms which are involved in bird migration. This volume takes into consideration all aspects of controlling factors since experimentation began in 1925.

Control of Bird Migration more than achieves its aim of providing a comprehensive aid to teaching and research. Whilst destined for the bookshelves of libraries and professional ornithologists, the book, makes excellent reading for any birder interested in the subject. - Wildfowl and Wetlands; ...comprehensive review...providing a comprehensive aid to teaching and research...I look forward to Berthold's next book on bird migration, which surely will have some exiting findings to report based on thes new techniques. - IBIS
