One of the most striking and persistent ways humans dominate Earth
is by changing land-cover as we settle a region. Much of our
ecological understanding about this process comes from studies of
birds, yet the existing literature is scattered, mostly decades
old, and rarely synthesized or standardized. The twenty-seven
contributions authored by leaders in the fields of avian and urban
ecology present a unique summary of current research on birds in
settled environments ranging from wildlands to exurban, rural to
urban. Ecologists, land managers, wildlife managers, evolutionary
ecologists, urban planners, landscape architects, and conservation
biologists will find our information useful because we address the
conservation and evolutionary implications of urban life from an
ecological and planning perspective. Graduate students in these
fields also will find the volume to be a useful summary and
synthesis of current research, extant literature, and prescriptions
for future work. All interested in human-driven land-cover changes
will benefit from a perusal of this book because we present high
altitude photographs of each study area.
