AVIAN CONSERVATION

Research and Management

Edited by John M. Marzluff and Rex Sallabanks

 

About the Book

Sections and Contributors

Order Form


AVIAN CONSERVATION presents the findings and insights of leading avian conservationists from around the world. Contributors review current research and identify information gaps that need to be filled if conservation measures are to be effectively carried out. They highlight the peril many species are experiencing, showcase important projects, and present the advice of practicing managers. The book features a blend of methodological, empirical, and applied chapters that introduce new ideas and strategies to working managers, and suggest how to most effectively implement research results.

Each section is preceded by a brief introduction that provides a valuable overview of the issue being considered. Throughout, contributors emphasize three themes: that an expanding human population has caused widespread changes in bird habitats; that research must be shifted from short-term, correlative studies of bird abundance to long-term, experimental studies that measure avian population viability; and that a closer relationship needs to be developed between researchers and managers. Conservation biologists, managers, and students interested in the conservation of birds will find the book an important guide and resource.

Rex Sallabanks is senior scientist at the Sustainable Ecosystems Institute in Meridian, Idaho. John Marzluff is Senior Associate Scientist with Sustainable Ecosystems Institute and assistant professor of wildlife science at University of Washington.
