Synopsis

This unique title evaluates the results from one of the most significant long-term studies of birds in the late twentieth century. The authors evaluate the working of natural selection on Snow Goose plumage colour, seasonal timing of breeding, clutch size, egg size and body size.

With information gathered over 26 years on 40,000 individually marked adult geese, 45,000 nests and more than 110,000 goslings at one colony in northern Manitoba, this work is a landmark in avian biology and population genetics.

Revue de presse

This is a landmark work of primary interest to professional biologists and ornithologsts. Highly recommended. (Wildlife Activist, No.25, December 1995)

This book is also incredible, or rather it is remarkable because the authors have succeeded in presenting a concise and thorough account of over 100 scientific papers in one volume that is enjoyable to devour, cover-to-cover. (Jeffrey M. Black, The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge, Animal Behaviour, 52, 1)
