The Canary: Natural History, Science and Cultural Significance
covers the ecology, evolution and conservation of the canary and
related species, along with the history and cultural significance
of the domestic canary worldwide and various scientific disciplines
in which canaries have played a key role as a model species. The
book synthesizes the multiple ways in which the canary and its
relatives have been, and continue to be, an important scientific
model in diverse areas and have influenced human culture. Each
chapter is written by international experts in areas such as
biogeography, animal behavior, evolutionary ecology, conservation,
neurobiology, genetics, or ethnology. In covering this eclectic
array of topics, while always focusing on the canary and its close
relatives, this book uses the immense appeal of the canary as a
vehicle to present notions of ecology, evolution, biodiversity
conservation, and so on, to a wide audience.
