As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily
becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the
effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model
systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are
especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors
such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy
to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural
counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and
physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the
evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as
acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and
includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge
research on these areas. Avian Urban Ecology is suitable for
professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as
graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. It
will also be of relevance and use to a more general audience of
urban ecologists and conservation biologists.
