Bird Population Studies: Relevance to Conservation and Management

There are more than one thousand species of threatened birds in the world, while many others are valued for sport and some are serious pests. This volume reviews our current understanding of avian population dynamics and explores ways in which population studies can contribute to effective conservation and management. Estimation of demographic parameters, the role of mathematical modelling, and the special problems of island populations and seabird populations are discussed. The emphasis throughout is on how bird populations are regulated under various constraints and conditions, including the impact of environmental changes.Perrine, C.
