Birds in European cities / Kelcey, J.G.(Ed.) ; Rheinwald, G.(Ed.) (2005)

Public ISBD Titre : Birds in European cities Type de document : livre Auteurs : Kelcey, J.G.(Ed.) ; Rheinwald, G.(Ed.) Editeur : St. Katharinen : Ginster Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 450 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-9806817-2-8 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Zones géographiques:Europe Mots-clés : Adaptation  Birds  Case studies  Habitats  Population dynamics  Urban environment Résumé : Birds of European Cities is the first book to describe any aspect of the natural history of man-made habitats across Europe or any other continent. The urban habitats present in the cities have arisen by a combination of their geographical and climatic position and their development over the last 1,000 years. The whole text is in English. Eminent scientists of 16 European cities have described the birdlife of the towns in which they live and work. Each chapter describes the historical development of the city, the birdlife that has been recorded in it from the beginning of the 20th Century, and the birds found in each of the major habitats and a section on where to watch birds. The chapters, which are illustrated by photographs, also consider the effects of planning and architectural and landscape design on birds. The implications of building restoration and landscape and management on the birdlife of the cities are also described.Many interesting facts emerge. For example, there is only one truly urban bird – the Feral Pigeon, which has evolved from the adaptation of and considerable genetic changes in the Rock Dove to become the only bird whose occurrence is restricted to urban areas. The overall species diversity and biomass of birds in the urban environment is higher than in the rural environment. In contrast, the abundance and diversity of species within a particular habitat is significantly lower in cities than in the countryside. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in birds, natural history and the environment including academic ornithologists, students, naturalists, nature conservation organizations, landscape architects, city planners, architects and engineers.

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.
