The Peregrine
ISBN: 9781590171332 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From fall to spring, J.A.

It is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and...

The main reason for the absence of a complete review of the Surinam lizards (and, for that matter, of the entire herpeto- fauna) has been the scarcity of the material available in museum collection although some of the more common species reached museums in...

Passerine Migration: Stopovers and Flight
ISBN: 9783642433283 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most birds cannot cover the distance between their breeding and winter quarters in one hop. They have to make multiple flights alternated with stopovers. Which factors govern the birds' decisions to stop, to stop for how long, when to resume flight? What is better - to accumulate much fuel and to make long flights for many hundreds of kilometres, or to travel in small steps? Is it necessary to find habitats similar to the breeding ones or other habitats would do? Are long migratory flights indeed so costly energetically as usually assumed? This monograph summarizes our current knowledge on...
