There are more than one-thousand species of threatened birds in the
world, while many others are valued for sport and some are serious
pests. All these bird populations require management of one kind or
another. This volume reviews our current understanding of avian
population dynamics and explores ways in which population studies
can contribute to effective conservation and management. The
earlier chapters review general questions such as estimation of
demographic parameters, the role of mathematical modelling, and the
special problems of island populations and seabird populations. The
specific chapters are devoted to great tits, snow geese, white
storks, puffins, flamingos, grey partridge, red grouse, common
terns, herring gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, ducks, Florida
scrub jays, and northern spotted owls. The emphasis throughout is
on how bird populations are regulated under various constraints and
conditions and on what changes we might expect under varying
environmental regimes.
