Birds and Climate Change
A Moller, W Fiedler, and P Berthold (Eds.)
Temperature and other climate variables are currently changing at a dramatic rate. Birds are excellent model organisms, with a very active metabolism, they are highly sensitive to environmental changes and as highly mobile creatures they are also extremely reactive. This book discusses our current knowledge of observed changes and provides guidelines for studies in the years to come so we can document and understand how patterns of changing weather conditions may affect birds. The various chapters are written by leading experts in these fields and enlighten a broad range of aspects in bird ecology. * Provides reviews of long-term datasets * Incorporates meta-analyses of studies about climate change effects on birds * Includes guidelines and suggestions for further studies
