This book was released on 1996-06-10 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a lifetime's work with the group, John Warham has firmly established himself as one of the foremost experts on these birds. In this book he completes the major survey started in his earlier work, The Petrels: Their Ecology and Breeding Systems. The text is comprehensive, well illustrated, and fully referenced. Together with the earlier, companion volume, this encyclopedic treatment presents an amazingly detailed, yet accessible introduction to this important, much-studied bird family, for the biologist, the conservation manager, and the dedicated amateur ornithologist. Key Features * Authored by an authoritative expert in the field * Explores an important, model group of birds * Appeals to a conservation interest
Download or read book The Petrels written by John Warham and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1990 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The petrels, or tubenosed birds, include the shearwaters, the albatrosses, and the storm, diving and gadfly petrels. As a group, they enjoy worldwide distribution and often form an important component of their marine communities. The long-distance migrations and colonial breeding habits of many of the species pose fascinating questions in biology, and much can be learned from comparative work on species from different parts of the world. In this book, John Warham, an expert with a lifetime association with the group, sets out the basics of petrel biology, drawing both on his own extensive researches and the wealth of published literature. The opening chapters summarize the biology of each family before going on to look in detail at comparative aspects of their breeding ecology. A companion volume, in preparation, will look in more detail at subjects, such as behavior, physiology, population biology, and food. This well-illustrated general introduction to the petrels forms an accessible and invaluable reference to both the scientific and lay ornithologist. * A full, attractively presented introduction to the petrel family, including chapters on each family and general chapters on breeding biology * Written by a world authority on petrels

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first definitive work on the European Storm-petrel and its relatives, by one of the world's leading experts on the species. Imagine a bird as small as a sparrow, which lives most of its life on the open ocean yet can survive for decades. It walks on water, and migrates half way around the world, returning to remote islands to breed underground, often in the same rock crevice each year. At night it lays an enormous egg, feeding its chick until the nestling weighs more than both parents put together. It seems to have little fear of humans, but was itself feared by ancient seafarers. This might sound like the stuff of legend but is actually the description of a real creature, the storm-petrel: walker on water, global wanderer, climate sentinel and open-ocean survivor. In this beautifully written monograph, Rob Thomas explores the remarkable life of the European Storm-petrel, comparing and contrasting its behaviour and ecology across its range, and with the other storm-petrels of the world. We learn about their evolution, taxonomy, migration and adaptations to a life in the harsh open ocean, while also discovering what these enigmatic seabirds are revealing about what humans are doing to our planet. Illustrated with 150 photographs, and including the author's personal anecdotes and observations, Storm-petrels highlights some of the most exciting recent research findings and sets a trajectory for future discoveries.

Book excerpt: "Following the international success of their 1974 identification guide to the albatrosses and petrels of New Zealand, two leading authorities on marine birds, Peter C. Harper and F. C. Kinsky, have revised and expanded their previous text to present a new edition which describes all species of albatrosses and petrels likely to be seen in the southern oceans, from the Tropic of Capricorn south to the shores of Antarctica. Popular features of the previous guide have been combined with improvements to create a definitive easy to use booklet for scientists and laymen alike."--
