Book Description

June 30, 1997 Current Ornithology (Book 13)
Current Ornithology publishes authoritative, up-to-date, scholarly reviews of topics selected from the full range of current research in avian biology. Topics cover the spectrum from the molecular level of organization to population biology and community ecology. The series seeks especially to review (1) fields in which an abundant recent literature will benefit from synthesis and organization, or (2) newly emerging fields that are gaining recognition as the result of recent discoveries or shifts in perspective, or (3) fields in which students of vertebrates may benefit from comparisons of birds with other classes. All chapters are invited, and authors are chosen for their leadership in the subjects under review.

Editorial Reviews

Review

` The Quality of the individual papers...[is] decidedly above average....I do suggest that university libraries buy this useful series.`
Animal Behavior, 12.
` The discussions provided allow the beginner to quickly come up to speed in specific areas....For more experienced readers they provide new viewpoints, corrections of misconceptions, and a means of checking what we think we already know.`
The Wilson Bulletin, 11.
