Where Have All the Birds Gone?: Essays on the Biology and Conservation of Birds That Migrate to the American Tropics
ISBN: 9780691024288 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

By waiting, one risks being too late; on the other hand, there can be no such thing as being too early." Terborgh's warnings are essential reading for all who care about migratory birds and our natural environment. Why are tropical migrant species disappearing from our forests? Can we save the birds that are left? Terborgh takes a... "Things are going wrong with our environment," writes John Terborgh, "even the parts of it that are nominally protected.

Trophic cascades are often drastically disrupted by human interventions for example, when wolves and cougars are removed, allowing deer and beaver to become destructive yet have only recently begun to be considered in the development of conservation and management strategies.
Trophic Cascades is the first comprehensive presentation of the science on this subject. It brings together some of the world s leading scientists and researchers to explain the...
