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 721 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.

Download or read book Nature Conservation in Europe written by Graham Tucker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European ecosystems and species remain under pressure from intensive agriculture and forestry, fishing, pollution, urban sprawl, invasive species and climate change. This book provides a detailed description and critical analysis of nature conservation responses, achievements and failures, motivated by the concerning state of nature and missed biodiversity targets. It summarises Europe's nature and the impact of human activities, and then gives an overview of relevant international biodiversity treaties and the EU nature conservation policy and legislative framework. The core of the book comprises chapters written by national experts, which cover the UK and twenty-five EU Member States, providing comparative case studies from which valuable lessons are drawn. Covering wide-ranging topics such as biodiversity pressures, legislation and governance, biodiversity strategies, species protection, protected areas, habitat management, and funding, this book is of interest to a wide audience, including academics and professionals involved in nature conservation and related environmental fields.
Download or read book Incendies de for ts d fis et perspectives written by SAUVAGNARGUES Sophie and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique a un impact indéniable sur la compréhension et l'appréhension des incendies de forêts. Cet ouvrage en évalue les conséquences sur l'écosystème forestier et sur la conservation de la biodiversité. Il est essentiel d'organiser la cohabitation entre l'homme et l'aléa incendie de forêts par l'intermédiaire d'outils d'aménagement du territoire à différentes échelles géographiques. Cela constitue la prévention du risque. Une fois l'incendie déclaré, il est alors nécessaire de déployer un ensemble de méthodes et outils technologiques et d'aide à la décision permettant de faire face à l'incendie et d'en limiter les conséquences. C'est le domaine de la prévision et de l'opération. Incendies de forêts propose des pistes organisationnelles, méthodologiques et technologiques pour la gestion territoriale de ce risque et de ses crises.
Download or read book The Future of the Red legged Partridge written by Fabián Casas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a recent upsurge of red-legged partridge research in most countries where the species is distributed, but no comprehensive review of that fresh and relevant multidisciplinary and international knowledge is available. In fact, this is probably the first scientific book on this important species, apart from Dick Potts’ excellent works on British-introduced population, or ONCFS’s (Office Nationale de la Chasse et le Faune Sauvage, France) older technical reports. This is in strong contrast with a plethora of literature in hunting magazines or non-academic books, not often precise, realistic, or well informed. Thus, the book fills a great bibliography gap that could have important social impact. The common thread of the book is the prominent role a species like this may play for research, from basic physiological or ecological knowledge to socio-economics of hunting and the rural world. The general framework of the book [I1] is the important role that hunting and game management may play in both rural economies and biodiversity conservation, with the partridge as flag species, and also in identifying the “dark drift” that industrial, incorrectly deployed management, or hunting vision may have on both sustainability of resources and nature conservation at large. The final aim of the book is identifying the best future scenario, both for partridge hunters and managers as well as the general public.

This book was released on 2007-11-25 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine, coastal and wetland habitats are threatened, through exploitation, and also by climate change, as ocean currents change course, sea levels rise, and rainfall patterns change. This book gathers papers on the biodiversity conservation of these increasingly threatened habitats. The papers provide a snapshot of the problems they face, and offer numerous examples which render this volume valuable to educators in marine, freshwater and wetlands ecology, conservation and ecological restoration.
Download or read book An Atlas of Wader Populations in Africa and Western Eurasia written by Derek A. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a compilation of current knowledge of the numbers, distribution and movements of one of the most remarkable groups of birds in the region covered by the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). Long-term waterbird count data have been combined with an extensive literature review, especially published results of bird ringing and national bird atlases, to produce maps showing the population boundaries that are used as a basis of the conservation of these species. The maps are supported by informative species accounts that highlight the movements, population status and conservation of waders in the AEWA region.

Download or read book 100 oiseaux rares et menac s de France written by Frédéric Jiguet and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un grand nombre de pressions subies par certaines espèces peuvent conduire à leur disparition. Parmi ces causes, on compte la modification des habitats liée aux nouvelles pratiques agricoles et à la transformation du paysage (urbanisation), le réchauffement climatique, le dérangement par l'homme dans le cadre des loisirs nature, la chasse, les pollutions accidentelles (marées noires) et, dans une moindre mesure, la dilution génétique. Dans cet ouvrage, 100 espèces menacées sont considérées - nicheuses, hivernantes ou migratrices. Chaque monographie fournit des éléments d'identification, des détails sur les habitats fréquentés, la distribution mondiale et en France ainsi que des précisions sur l'évolution des effectifs et les menaces auxquelles l'espèce fait ou fera face. Ce livre s'appuie sur la Liste rouge nationale de l'UICN (l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature) - un outil essentiel pour identifier les priorités d'actions, surveiller l'évolution des menaces et inciter tous les acteurs à agir pour limiter le taux d'extinction des espèces. Un livre qui sera utile aux ornithologues chevronnés et qui pourra également mener à nombre de vocations.
