Description: Ecology and Management of Neotropical Migratory Birds by Thomas E. Martin, Deborah M. Finch An assessment of the current status of neotropical migratory birds in the USA, and the methods and strategies for conserving migrant populations. This book lays out the subject in its full scope, with chapters reviewing and assessing the various subjects written as consensus documents by several leading workers representing various views. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The apparent decline in numbers among many species of migratory songbirds is a timely subject in conservation biology, particularly for ornithologists, ecologists, and wildlife managers. This book is an attempt to discuss the problem in full scope. It presents an ambitious, comprehensive assessment of the current status of neotropical migratory birds in the U.S., and the methods and strategies used to conserve migrant populations. Each chapter is an essayreviewing and assessing the trend from a different viewpoint, all written by leaders in the fields of ornithology, conservation, and population biology.
