Birds and Habitat Hardback: Relationships in Changing Landscapes (Ecological Reviews) - Tapa dura

'... this book provides the first major review of avian habitat selection in over twenty years. It offers a synthesis of concepts, patterns and issues that will interest students, researchers and conservation practitioners.' Ian Paulsen, The Birdbooker Report (guardian.co.uk)

'The book is a valuable review of current understanding of how land and water birds select foraging, nesting, and migratory habitat in a region with a history of human land use reaching back eons. It is most useful for scientists, land managers, and educated bird enthusiasts. Recommended.' D. Flaspohler, Choice

'This is a thorough and detailed review which will clearly interest ornithologists and conservation practitioners, but many of the early chapters are of value beyond the world of birds and would interest ecologists generally.' Ian Powell, The Biologist

'The literature reviews are thorough and current not only for studies of European birds, but also for North American birds ... this will be an important reference for anyone who is interested in studying population changes and habitat requirements of birds, or who is looking for guidance in how to manage habitats for birds.' Robert A. Askins, Ecology

'... this book provides a useful overview of the habitat use and requirements of birds in changing landscapes and provides an informative account that will be of use to a broad readership. All of the chapters are well written.' Mark C. Mainwaring, Biological Conservation

Robert J. Fuller is Director of Science at the British Trust for Ornithology where he leads the Ecological Change Group. He has studied habitat relationships of birds throughout Britain and many parts of Europe for thirty years. Much of his recent work focuses on the effects of different forest management systems and the impacts of increasing deer populations on bird numbers.
