Birds and climate change: impacts and conservation responses / James W. Pearce-Higgins (2014)  

Public ISBD Titre : Birds and climate change: impacts and conservation responses Type de document : livre Auteurs : James W. Pearce-Higgins, Auteur ; Rhys E. Green, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Ecology, biodiversity and conservation Importance : 467 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-13219-0 Prix : 45.99 GBP Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds  Climate change  Animal conservation  Biodiversity Résumé : From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems. They are among the best studied and monitored of organisms, yet many are already under threat of extinction as a result of habitat loss, overexploitation and pollution. Providing a single source of information for students, scientists, practitioners and policy-makers, this book begins with a critical review of the existing impacts of climate change on birds, including changes in the timing of migration and breeding and effects on bird populations around the world. The second part considers how conservationists can assess potential future impacts, quantifying how extinction risk is linked to the magnitude of global change and synthesising the evidence in support of likely conservation responses. The final chapters assess the threats posed by efforts to reduce the magnitude of climate change.

A climatic atlas of european breeding birds / Huntley, B. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : A climatic atlas of european breeding birds Type de document : livre Auteurs : Huntley, B., Auteur ; Rhys E. Green, Auteur ; Collingham, Y.C., Auteur ; Willis, S.G., Auteur Editeur : Barcelona : Lynx Edicions Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 521 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-84-96553-14-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds  Climatic changes  Climatic zones  Europe Résumé : A comprehensive exploration of the relationships between the distributions of birds breeding in Europe and the present climate, and how future climatic change may alter each species' potential breeding distribution. Results are presented in detail for 431 species; brief accounts are also included for a further 48 native and 16 introduced species. The contents of the volume include: outline accounts of climate and vegetation patterns in Europe; a biogeographic analysis of the breeding birds of Europe; a review of the background to studies of the relationships between species' distributions and climate; a discussion of the methods used in such studies; a summary of how European climate is projected to change by the end of the present century; a discussion of how species respond to climatic changes; for each of 431 species, a brief account of their distribution and ecology, maps of their recent observed and modelled geographical distribution, and of their potential future distribution in the late 21st century, a graphical representation of the location in climate space of the species' distribution and text describing the possible effects of climate change on the species; a synthesis and discussion of the results for the ensemble of 431 species examined; and a concluding section exploring the implications of these results, especially with respect to the conservation of birds in Europe. The many maps and diagrams this volume contains, as well as the succinct accounts of the distribution and ecology of the 431 species examined in detail, offer much that will be valued by the amateur and professional ornithologist alike. The introductory, review and synthetic material will also be of interest to a wider range of biologists and conservation scientists, as well as to those in government and non-government organisations addressing issues relating to biodiversity conservation, both in Europe and beyond.

Bird ecology and conservation: a handbook of techniques / William J. Sutherland (2004)  

Public ISBD Titre : Bird ecology and conservation: a handbook of techniques Type de document : livre Auteurs : William J. Sutherland, Auteur ; Ian Newton, Auteur ; Rhys E. Green, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2004 Collection : Techniques in ecology and conservation series Importance : 386 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-852086-3 Note générale : First publ. 2004, reprinted 2005 (twice), 2008; DOI : 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198520863.001.0001 (version numérique) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds  Conservation  Ecology  Methodology  Ornithology Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : This book outlines the main methods and techniques available to ornithologists. A general shortage of information about available techniques is greatly hindering progress in avian ecology and conservation. Currently this sort of information is disparate and difficult to locate with much of it widely dispersed in books, journals and grey literature. This book is a practical handbook describing the methods used in ornithological studies. Many of the chapters describe field methods, but there are also chapters devoted to laboratory techniques and the assessment of ill or dead birds. Two chapters focus on conservation methods: one describes habitat management techniques, and the other considers field manipulations.
