Titre : Niko's nature: the life of Niko Tinbergen and his science of animal behaviour Type de document : livre Auteurs : H. Kruuk Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 391 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-851558-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 20/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behaviour Biographies Résumé : A charismatic naturalist, bird-watcher, teacher, artist, photographer, film-maker, and winner of the Nobel Prize, Niko Tinbergen was a prominent and influential scientist. Jointly with Konrad Lorenz, he laid the foundation for a new science, the biological study of animal behaviour. 'Ethology', and his talent for devising behaviour-testing experiments, provided an outlet for Niko's enthusiasm for gulls and sticklebacks, snow-buntings and foxes, wasps and falcons, and even children. This first full-length biography of Niko Tinbergen, lavishly illustrated with many of Niko's own drawings, describes his background in Holland, a naturalists' paradise, and the beginnings of his investigations into the behaviour of birds, fish, and insects. Hans Kruuk also explores is Niko's relationship with his colleague and co-Nobelist Konrad Lorenz. These were two men full of contrasts: Niko a charming, self-effacing field man and experimenter; Konrad a flamboyant and egocentric German, always full of new ideas. Niko's Nature goes on to follow Niko's progress in Oxford after the Second World War, where he became the world authority on the behaviour of animals in the wild: his inspiring book The Study of Instinct remains an all-time classic. As a scientist Niko will always be known for the four fundamentally different ways in which he asked the question 'why does an animal do this?' These questions, about physiology, development, evolution, and function, became known as 'Tinbergen's four whys'. But Niko's successes came at a price - severe and devastating depressions that were to plague him throughout his career. In this fascinating and engaging story, Niko's long-time friend and student Hans Kruuk argues that his impact as a scientist and naturalist was in large part due to his skills as a communicator, photographer, and film-maker. Niko's Nature is an intimate and insightful portrait of an extraordinary figure.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-62996-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behaviour Communication between animals Evolution Motivation Social behaviour Résumé : Essentials of Animal Behaviour is an introduction to the study of animal behaviour and is primarily intended for first or second year undergraduates attending short courses in the subject. The book concentrates on putting across the basic principles as briefly and lucidly as possible with the aid of carefully selected examples from both the recent and classic literature, together with numerous illustrations. It will enthuse readers with this active and exciting area of research, and will lay a solid foundation on which further study may be based. Its simple and readable style, helped by an extensive glossary, will also make it useful to senior level school students, their teachers and those with a general interest in the subject. It will be particularly rewarding for all those needing the basics in animal behaviour, behavioural ecology and comparative psychology.

Titre : The osprey Type de document : livre Auteurs : Tim Mackrill, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : London : T. & A.D. Poyser Année de publication : 2024 Importance : 304 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4729-9261-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds Predators Migration Behaviour Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : A highly readable Poyser monograph on one of the most widespread raptors.
The Osprey is a large, fish-eating bird of prey. Distinctively marked in deep brown and white, with a piercing yellow eye and powerful hooked bill, the Osprey snatches its prey in spectacular swoops above lakes and wetlands around the world – it is one of the most widespread of all birds. Persecuted mercilessly in Britain, it became extinct in the 1890s before returning to the famous Loch Garten in Scotland in the 1950s. The return of the bird has been slow, but reintroduction programmes elsewhere – notably at Rutland Water – have been successful, and this remarkable raptor is an increasingly common sight in our skies.
This Poyser monograph is dedicated to this fine species and includes more than 150 colour photographs. The Osprey looks at the distribution, foraging ecology, migration, breeding behaviour and population dynamics of this spectacular bird, with emphasis placed on conservation efforts both in Britain and in the species' African haunts, which have been discovered only very recently thanks to advances in satellite tagging technology.En ligne : https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/osprey-9781472992611/ The osprey [livre] / Tim Mackrill, Auteur . - 1st ed. . - London : T. & A.D.

Editeur : Boca Raton, Florida : CRC Press Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 310 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-367-76543-9 Note générale : Contient 16 fig. en coul. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Predatory birds Migration Behaviour Palaearctic region Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : "Given their roles in the ecosystem, raptors are widely considered the flagship or umbrella species among birds. Most species undertake a seasonal journey that is impressive because of the length, and the imposing natural barriers such as deserts and seas that they fly over. The migration of birds of prey has unique characteristics in the animal world because of their morphology and flight style. The flying path of Afro-Palearctic migrants between breeding and wintering grounds is determined by several factors such as morphology of the birds, geography, behavioural adaptations.
The book analyses the migration patterns of raptors along the Afro-Palearctic migratory system, and summarizes the recent research on these top predator species. Behavioural adaptations such as the importance of social interactions and the modulation of the different flight styles as well as ecological interactions with the encountered environment and weather conditions en route are described in the book. Moreover, the impact of climate change on the migratory behaviour and key conservation issues are discussed. The book provides an overview of the migratory characteristics and flyway patterns of all European raptors species and also some Asian ones. These chapters have been written by some of the most important raptor specialists, giving a complete picture of the different migration strategies on the basis of both traditional methods and new technologies."En ligne : https://www.routledge.com/Migration-Strategies-of-Birds-of-Prey-in-Western-Palea [...] Migration strategies of birds of prey in Western Palearctic [livre] / Michele Panuccio, Éditeur scientifique ; Ugo Mellone, Éditeur scientifique ; Nicolantonio Agostini, Éditeur scientifique . - 1st ed. . - Boca Raton, Florida : CRC Press, 2021 . - 310 p.
