ISBN: 9780231063623 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Recently biologists have tried to study interactions from the viewpoint of all participants. Because of the high visibility of birds, it is easy to observe their interactions with other vertebrates such as fish, porpoises, and whales, but it is difficult to obtain quantitative data on their interactions. Seabirds and Other Marine...
