| 2006 | | Kart, F:15,5x23,5 cm, 256 S, Grafiken und Tabellen. | WG: Buch | Der von 21 Experten, darunter starker deutscher Beteiligung, geschaffene Forschungsbericht über das aktuelle Thema Klimaveränderung und globale Erwärmung, die gravierende Auswirkungen auf alle Organismen hat. Vögel sind hierfür ein sehr guter Indikator, sie reagieren sensibel auf Umweltveränderungen und sind extrem mobil. "Birds and Climate Change" diskutiert den aktuellen Wissensstand dieses vorrangigen Themas unserer Zeit. | Temperature and other climate variables are currently changing at a dramatic rate. Birds are excellent model organisms, with a very active metabolism, they are highly sensitive to environmental changes and as highly mobile creatures they are also extremely reactive. This book discusses our current knowledge of observed changes and provides guidelines for studies in the years to come so we can document and understand how patterns of changing weather conditions may affect birds. The various chapters are written by leading experts in these fields and enlighten a broad range of aspects in bird ecology. | [E] | |
