Essential Ornithology provides the reader with a concise but
comprehensive introduction to the biology of birds, one of the most
widely studied taxonomic groups. The book starts with the
controversial question of the dinosaur origins of birds and their
subsequent evolution. Development, anatomy, and physiology are then
discussed followed by chapters devoted to avian reproduction,
migration, ecology, and conservation. Sections dealing with aspects
of bird/human relationships and bird conservation give the book an
applied context.
Drawing extensively upon the wider scientific literature, this
engaging text places the results of classical studies of avian
biology alongside the most recent scientific breakthroughs. Useful
case studies are presented in a concise and engaging style with the
student reader foremost in mind. Key points are highlighted and
suggestions for guided reading and key references are included
throughout.
