9780412402302: Birds As Monitors of Environmental Change

Synopsis

Explains the principles and practices of using birds not only to monitor changes in the environment, but also to indicate which changes are significant and need to be monitored. Birds are an excellent measure, because they are very sensitive to their surroundings, they are easy to study, and their normal ecology and behavior are well known. Ornithologists and ecologists describe using birds to monitor various pollutants, radionuclides, and changes in water quality and marine prey stocks. A final chapter describes monitoring integrated populations to detect diverse changes. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
