With heart-shaped face, buff back and wings, and pure white
underparts, the barn owl is a distinctive and much-loved bird which
has fascinated people from many cultures throughout history. How
did the barn owl colonise the world? What adaptations have made
this bird so successful? How is the increasing impact of human
disturbance affecting these animals? Answering these questions and
more, Roulin brings together the main global perspectives on the
evolution, ecology and behaviour of the barn owl and its relatives,
discussing topics such as the high reproductive potential,
physiology, social and family interaction, pronounced colour
variation and global distribution. Accessible and beautifully
illustrated, this definitive volume on the barn owl is for
researchers, professionals and graduate students in ornithology,
animal behaviour, ecology, conservation biology and evolutionary
biology, and will also appeal to amateur ornithologists and nature
lovers.
