ISBN: 9798184579856 - the eurasian hoopoe handbook: a complete guide to the biology, habitat, and life cycle of a remarkable bird (6 resultados)

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) is a distinctive and widely distributed bird known for its striking crest, curved bill, and specialized ground-foraging behavior. This handbook provides a complete scientific and ecological exploration of the species, covering its evolution, anatomy, distribution, habitat preferences, feeding strategies, breeding biology, communication systems, migration ecology, and survival mechanisms. Across Europe, Asia, and Africa, the hoopoe demonstrates remarkable adaptability, thriving in open and semi-open landscapes such as grasslands, farmlands, savannas, and forest edges. Its feeding behavior is highly specialized, relying on a long, sensitive bill to extract insects and larvae from soil, making it an important natural regulator of pest populations. The species shows flexible migratory patterns, with northern populations traveling long distances to warmer regions while others remain resident depending on climate conditions. Its reproductive strategy depends heavily on cavity nesting, strong parental care, and timing that aligns breeding with peak insect availability. Behaviorally, the hoopoe uses a combination of vocal calls, crest displays, and body language for communication, territorial defense, and mating. Despite facing threats such as habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, it remains globally classified as Least Concern due to its wide range and adaptability. Culturally, the Eurasian hoopoe holds deep symbolic significance in many civilizations, often associated with wisdom, communication, and seasonal renewal. Its presence in folklore, religious texts, and art reflects its long-standing relationship with human societies. Overall, the Eurasian hoopoe stands as both an ecological asset and a cultural icon, representing the delicate balance between wildlife, environment, and human activity.…
