Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un quart de siècle après le dernier atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Aquitaine (1987), voici une expertise régionale inédite sur l'évolution et l'état de conservation des populations d'oiseaux de la région Aquitaine (Dordogne, Gironde, Landes, Lot-et-Garonne et Pyrénées-Atlantiques), qui s'appuie sur les résultats d'une enquête allant de 2009 à 2013. L'ambition de ce projet est la connaissance approfondie de l'état actuel du peuplement avifaunistique d'un point de vue qualitatif, quantitatif, mais aussi prospectif. Une première partie, qui vise à affiner les connaissances sur les espèces nicheuses, décline 209 monographies d'oiseaux, du Cygne tuberculé à l'Etourneau unicolore : Répartition en période de reproduction - Habitat et écologie - Historique et tendances des populations - Menaces et perspectives. Cette première partie - commune à tous les atlas ornithologiques - est complétée par une approche quantitative et qualitative permettant la compréhension de l'écologie de l'avifaune régionale. Cette seconde partie, plus atypique, traitée sous forme de questions simples, s'appuie sur des analyses statistiques approfondies. La réalisation de cet ouvrage original est le fruit de l'implication et de la collaboration d'un grand nombre de bénévoles dans l'amélioration de la connaissance sur l'avifaune régionale. Plus d'un millier de passionnés se sont investis sur le terrain à la recherche des indices de reproduction les plus pertinents, dans la rédaction des monographies et lors de réunions d'échanges pour consolider leurs informations sur ce patrimoine naturel si remarquable que représentent les oiseaux nicheurs d'Aquitaine.

Download or read book The Lapwing written by Michael Shrubb and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed, authoritative yet highly readable monograph on one of Britain's best-loved farmland birds, the Lapwing. With its striking green-black and white plumage and distinctive pee-wit call, the Lapwing is one of Britain's best-known birds. Lapwings depend on agricultural land to breed and are considered a barometer of the health of this habitat; the population has crashed over recent decades, partly due to changes in farming practices. In winter, Lapwings switch to coastal areas and to wetlands, including those in suburban areas, where large, noisy flocks can gather. Michael Shrubb's The Lapwing is a thorough review of Lapwing biology contains sections on population dynamics, feeding ecology, habitat use, migration, and conservation; there is an impressively detailed review of our current understanding of breeding biology, plus discussion of some other species in the genus. The Lapwing is a superb addition to the Poyser list. Of interest to both amateur naturalists, who will enjoy insights into the birds' lives, and to academics, who will appreciate the broad overview of current research, this title will remain the definitive work on the species for many years to come.

Book excerpt: L'Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Auvergne recense 184 espèces d'oiseaux nicheurs réguliers et occasionnels de la région Auvergne. Chaque espèce est présentée sous la forme d'une monographie très précise faisant état à ce jour de la répartition régionale, de l'écologie et des habitats, de la phénologie et de la biologie de la reproduction, de l'évolution des populations, des menaces et mesures de conservation de chaque espèce. Les espèces sont présentées selon une classification systématique, mais un index en fin d'ouvrage permettra également au public moins spécialisé d'accéder aisément à la fiche de l'espèce recherchée. Pour chaque monographie (d'une page à 4 pages) : Une carte de répartition régionale précise et lisible (10 x 10 cm) qui signale les nicheurs certains, probables et possibles ; Une carte de fréquence (pour 45 espèces) qui indique par carré régional la fréquence de contact de l'espèce, un diagramme d'altitude (pour 107 espèces) ; Une photo (ou deux) de l'espèce et/ou une photo du milieu où elle niche. C'est, en tout, plus de 450 photographies et près de 350 cartes et graphiques qui figurent dans cet atlas exhaustif, à destination des spécialistes et plus largement de tous les curieux, habitant ou séjournant ponctuellement dans la région Auvergne. L'Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs d'Auvergne est la synthèse de sept années de travail de prospection aux quatre coins de l'Auvergne par plus de 300 observateurs bénévoles. Vitrine du savoir faire de la LPO Auvergne, il est l'oeuvre collective des ornithologues auvergnats, chacun ayant à la mesure de ses disponibilités apporté sa pierre à l'édifice. Un édifice que tous espèrent secrètement aussi voir concourir à la naissance de nouvelles vocations naturalistes. Cet atlas a été coordonné par la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux, délégation Auvergne, dirigée par Jean-Christophe Gigault. Le coordinateur de l'atlas est Alex Clamens, professeur de biologie à Clermont-Ferrand et très actif au sein de la LPO Auvergne.
Download or read book Naturalised Birds of the World written by Christopher Lever and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the world's naturalised (successfully introduced) species of bird. Many species have been introduced to countries outside their natural range by people, either deliberately or accidentally, with varied consequences for both those species themselves and the native fauna of their 'new' homes. In Britain, the introduced Canada Goose has quickly become ubiquitous at every lake and riverside, while the Golden Pheasant remains a scarce and unobtrusive inhabitant of a few scattered, remote woodlands. The House Sparrow and Common Starling, both in decline over parts of their native range, are thriving in a naturalised state in North America and elsewhere in the world. Naturalised populations of Mallard in various parts of the world are threatening a total of seven other duck species with extinction through hybridisation. This book discusses each species in turn, describing how, why, when and where its introduction took place, how it became established, and the ecological and economic impacts its presence has had in the country or countries it is naturalised in. Each account has a map, showing natural and introduced range, and there is a wealth of beautiful line drawings of the species concerned.

Book excerpt: Based on phylogenetic research, this complete study of the genus Sylvia describes two new species and establishes identification criteria for all members of the family. A lengthy introduction explains the background to the research and outlines the main features of the genus. The 25 species are then treated in detail, including the African parisomas, which are here included in the Sylva group. The species accounts include sections on every aspect of identification, with colour illustrations showing age, sex and racial differences, distribution maps, sonograms, moult and wing diagrams and tables.
Download or read book The Birds of the Iberian Peninsula written by Eduardo de Juana and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative title is the definitive avifauna covering the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula is one of Europe's most ornithologically varied regions offering a host of regional specialities. It includes famous birding hotspots such as the Coto Donaña wetlands, mountainous areas such as the Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean cork and holm oak forests of the southwest, the migration crossroads of the Strait of Gibraltar and the steppe-like plains of Extremadura and Alentejo. Large numbers of birders from around Europe visit the region to see this wealth of winged wildlife, but to date there has been no comprehensive regional avifauna in English. Birds of the Iberian Peninsula is a national avifauna that fills this gap in the ornithological literature. Full-colour throughout, the book begins with authoritative introductory chapters covering subjects such as geography, climate, habitats, the history of Iberian ornithology and the composition of the avifauna. The species accounts then cover every species recorded in mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra, including the many vagrants. For each species there is detailed treatment of distribution – with maps of breeding and wintering ranges – habitat selection, population trends, historical and current status, migration and conservation.
