This accessible book draws on recent research on bird species and
their habitats to explain how basic principles of bird ecology and
landscape ecology can help us create scientifically sound plans for
protecting and restoring the rich diversity of North American
birds. This edition includes an afterword that reviews noteworthy
literature that has appeared since the first edition was completed
in 1999. This new material-on such key issues as the importance of
preserving large expanses of natural habitat, the importance of
maintaining early successional habitats, and the habitat
requirements of neotropical migrants-shows how the research on
landscape ecology of birds has shaped conservation policy more
rapidly than most would have predicted. Praise for the earlier
edition: "This book is first-rate-very broad in scope and appeal,
readable, and truly integrative in its coverage of landscape
ecology and its implications for avian conservation biology. . . .
It will be of significant interest to researchers and students of
conservation biology, ornithology and ecology; land managers;
conservation agencies; and anyone with an interest in protecting
the rich avian diversity of North America."-Trevor E. Pitcher,
American Scientist "This wonderful book . . . is especially
relevant for conservation biologists from all walks of
life."-Kathryn E. Sieving, Auk "An enjoyable read for anyone, from
the amateur birder to the professional scientist."-J. Michael Reed,
Ecology
