Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Dr. Ian Newton is respected world-wide both as a biologist with a special interest and expertise in this subject and as a communicator. He is a seasoned and popular keynote speaker at National and International meetings, and his talks are often the high point of conferences. Ian Newton was born and raised in north Derbyshire. He attended Chesterfield Boys Grammar School, followed by the universities of Bristol and Oxford. He has been interested in birds since boyhood, and as a teenager developed a particular fascination with finches, which later led to doctoral and post-doctoral studies on these birds. Later in life he became known for his penetrating field studies of bird populations, notably on raptors. He is now a senior ecologist with the Natural Environment Research Council and visiting professor of ornithology at the University of Oxford.
Von der hinteren Coverseite
This book is about the various factors that influence the population levels of wild birds, explaining why bird numbers vary in the way they do, from year to year or from place to place. It describes the role of territorial and other behaviours in influencing local densities, as well as the role of food-supplies, nest-sites, predation, disease and competition in limiting overall population levels. The many human impacts on bird populations, including those resulting from habitat destruction and fragmentation, pollution and pesticide use, and hunting are also discussed. The final chapter deals with the problems of extinction, highlighting the various factors involved.
The book is mainly based on the findings of a host of field studies, interpreted in the light of contemporary ecological theory. Thus it provides a fresh and informed synthesis of a mass of scattered information from around the world, presenting it in a clear and coherent manner. No other book gives such an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of this important subject.
Despite the breadth and complexities of the area, the book is written in clear and simple language. It should therefore be of value not only to the research worker and student, but also to those concerned with the practical management of bird populations (whether for hunting, crop protection or conservation), as well as to those interested in bird-watching as a hobby.

Zustand: Very Good. Brockie, Keith (illustrator). x, 597, 130 b/w illus, figs, tabs. . PB. Vg. An understanding of the processes of population limitation is central to the study of ecology, whether in birds or in other organisms. It also provides the basis for the practical management of wild populations, whether for conservation or for sustained human exploitation. Population Limitation in Birds, which expands on Lack's research in the 1950s, provides a coherent synthesis of findings on bird populations from various parts of the world. The 16 chapters fall under three major section headings: behaviour and density regulation; natural limiting factors; and human impacts. [9780125173667]. Artikel-Nr. S46397
