Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aouette lulu, perdrix rouge, mésange nonnette, rossignol à philomèle... 300 espèces d'oiseaux se reproduisent de façon régulière en France et, parmi elles, 100 sont très abondantes et faciles à observer. Nombre d'entre elles sont connues de tous ou presque, au moins sous leur nom générique, mais saviez-vous qu'on trouve en France 4 espèces de moineaux, 6 de mésanges, 5 d'hirondelles, etc.? Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de présenter cette diversité à travers les 100 espèces les plus communes nichant en France. Il fournit des éléments d'identification, des détails sur les habitats fréquentés, la distribution dans le pays et, information inédite, la tendance d'évolution des effectifs sur les deux dernières décennies. Toutes espèces confondues, le nombre d'oiseaux communs nicheurs est en baisse de 12 %. Cette diminution est le témoin d'une dégradation générale de la biodiversité ordinaire, celle qui nous entoure, la nature que l'on côtoie au quotidien... Ce livre, richement illustré et documenté, intéressera les spécialistes comme les ornithologues débutants et, plus généralement, te lecteur curieux et soucieux de son environnement.
Download or read book Shrikes of the World written by Norbert Lefranc and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This long-awaited update to the acclaimed first edition is the definitive guide to a complex and intriguing family. The species accounts and taxonomic treatments have been fully revised in line with recent studies, and the all-new plates and photos complete this remarkable work. Highly recommended.' – Dominic Mitchell Beautiful, colourful, often fearless hunters of large insects and small vertebrates, shrikes are among the most admired of all avian groups. The group is widespread (particularly in the Old World) with a large number of species, though many populations have plummeted in recent years, especially in Europe. This is a second edition of Norbert Lefranc's Shrikes, fully updated from its 1997 predecessor. The introductory texts have been significantly expanded and six new sections have been added in the species accounts: vagrancy, foraging behaviour, breeding success, population trends, conservation and taxonomic notes. Special attention has been given to the latest developments in shrike systematics, not forgotten by the DNA revolution. The species accounts give information about the past and current distribution, along with threats and conservation status. Detailed and fully revised maps accompany the authoritative text, along with hundreds of high-quality photos showcasing racial and ageing differences as well as interesting aspects of shrike behaviour. An exceptional new series of plates by Tim Worfolk have been created, with more individual plumages shown than in the previous edition. This beautiful book represents the definitive account of shrikes and their relationships, appearance, conservation and lifestyle; it will be treasured by birdwatchers and professional ornithologists alike.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Résultat d'une enquête de terrain menée quinze ans après le précédent inventaire ornithologique national, ayant conduit à la publication du premier Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs de France, ce nouvel ouvrage, de 776 pages, est une mise à jour approfondie du statut de notre avifaune nicheuse. Les 289 espèces (ou sous-espèces distinguées de formes plus communément présentes) qui la composent, font l'objet de monographies traitant de leur évolution géographique et numérique, tant à l'échelle historique que contemporaine, ainsi que de la biologie de leur reproduction (formation des couples, milieux et sites de nidification, calendrier, nombre d'œufs et de pontes, régime alimentaire, etc.). Chaque espèce régulièrement nicheuse est illustrée par un dessin au trait, original, et sa répartition est cartographiée. Un important chapitre de l'introduction présente un classement des espèces selon qu'elles ont connu des modifications significatives, positives ou négatives, de leurs effectifs ou de leur distribution entre 1970 et 1990. Sont évoquées ensuite les causes favorables ou défavorables de ces évolutions, d'origines naturelle ou anthropique, agissant en France comme lors des migrations ou dans les quartiers d'hiver. A ce jour, le Nouvel Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs de France rassemble les connaissances les plus complètes disponibles sur l'avifaune nidificatrice de notre pays. Une riche bibliographie contribue à en faire un ouvrage de référence de tout premier plan. Après l'Atlas des oiseaux nicheurs de France, paru en 1976, plus l'Atlas des oiseaux de France en hiver édité en 1991, la Société Ornithologique de France publie ce nouvel atlas avec le concours du Ministère de l'Environnement, du Secrétariat de la Faune et de la Flore du Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, de la Fondation Electricité de France et de l'Institut Français de l'Environnement.

Download or read book Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin written by F. di Castri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the massive change in the area of distribution of many world biota across classical biogeographical realms, and of the drastic restructuring of the biotic components of numerous ecosystems, the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) decided at its general Assembly in Ottawa, Canada, in 1982 to launch a project on the 'Ecology of Biological Invasions'. Several regional meetings were subsequently organized within the framework of SCOPE, in order to single out the peculiarities of the invasions that took place in each region, the behaviour of their invasive species and the invasibility of their ecosystems. Most noteworthy among such workshops were one in Australia in August 1984, one concerning North America and Hawaii in October 1984, and one dealing with southern Africa in November 1985. A leitmotiv of these workshops was that most of the invasive species to those regions were emanating from Europe and the Mediterranean Basin, inadvertently or intentionally introduced by man. It was therefore considered as a timely endeavour to organize the next regional meeting in relation to this region. The workshop on 'Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin' was held in Montpellier, France, 21 to 23 May 1986, thanks to the financial support of SCOPE and of the A.W. Mellon Foundation, and the logistic facilities of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N .R.S.).

Download or read book Changing Landscapes An Ecological Perspective written by Izaak S. Zonneveld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape Ecology is an emerging science of gaining momentum over the past few decades in the scientific as well as in the planning-management worlds. Although the field is rooted in biology and geography, the approaches to understanding the ecology of a landscape are highly divers. This hybrid vigor provides power to the field. One can no longer view a local ecosystem or land use in isolation from global areas and time frames. The surrounding landscape mosaic and the flows and movements in a landscape must be considered, especially the linkage between humans requiring resources provided by nature, the constraints on their use as well as the responding landscape.

Download or read book The Common Tern written by Joanna Burger and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1991 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than twenty years the authors studied the complex breeding and social behavior of colonies of terns. A significant dynamic of their social behavior is their “mobbing” behavior when they aggressively defend their nests against predators and will attack intruders, including human beings. Analysis of this and other behaviors as they affect breeding and population provide fascinating insights in the study of birds.
