Book Synopsis Avifauna neotropical : ecología y conservación by : María Alejandra Maglianesi
Download or read book Avifauna neotropical : ecología y conservación written by María Alejandra Maglianesi and published by Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra describe los principales aspectos de la ecología y conservación de las aves en dos secciones. La primera se enfoca en aspectos evolutivos y de comportamiento relacionados con su origen, alimentación, reproducción, hábitat y migración. Cada tema se ilustra con diversos ejemplos bien fundamentados en la literatura científica y con imágenes coloridas de gran calidad. La segunda aborda el estado de conservación de las aves, desde las especies extintas hasta aquellas amenazadas en la actualidad. Se hace un análisis exhaustivo de las causas principales que han llevado a la desaparición de una variedad de ellas y han provocado la reducción de sus poblaciones. Además, se describen los esfuerzos de investigación y conservación orientados a revertir el estado crítico en el cual se encuentran muchas especies de aves en la actualidad. Existe un gran vacío sobre esta temática, pues en la literatura contemporánea no se dispone de obras con estas características, que aborden de manera integrada la ecología y la conservación de las aves. Por lo tanto, este libro, además de ser muy completo y actual, podrá ser aprovechado por un amplio público, tanto en un contexto académico como fuera de este. Su objetivo principal es contribuir con el conocimiento sobre la ecología de las aves y su conservación. Si bien se describen ejemplos de especies en todo el mundo, hay un claro énfasis en las de la región Neotropical, por ser una de las más diversas del planeta.

Book Synopsis Neotropical Owls by : Paula L. Enriquez
Download or read book Neotropical Owls written by Paula L. Enriquez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive biological and ecological information about owls in the neotropic area. In addition the book covers topics such as threats and conservation strategies for these nocturnal birds of prey from 18 Neotropical countries. Owls are a good example of diversification processes and have developed evolutionary characteristics themselves. These species are found almost everywhere in the world but most of them are distributed in tropical areas and about a third of them live in the Neotropics. This biogeographic region has a high biodiversity and even share lineages of species from other continents because at some point all were part of Pangea. Although we still have much to know and understand about this diverse, scarcely studied and threatened group this work aims to be a precedent for future and further research on the subject.

Book Synopsis Ecology and Conservation of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds by : Manomet Bird Observatory (Mass.)
Download or read book Ecology and Conservation of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds written by Manomet Bird Observatory (Mass.) and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1992 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a decade ornithologists have suspected that migrant landbird populations in the United States and Canada are declining. Fragmented forests in the northern breeding grounds and the loss of habitats in tropical wintering zones have been suggested as two major factors in the population declines. This is the first technical volume to focus exclusively on the question of northern hemispheric migratory landbird declines and their conservation. More than one hundred leading scholars working in the Americas and the Caribbean report on the problems facing these birds and suggest strategies for research and conservation. The book details the basic ecology of many Neotropical migrant landbirds in both temperate and tropical regions. Individual reports--each with a Spanish abstract--probe the reasons for population changes, discuss species behavior during summer and winter months, and gauge the impact of environmental events on landbirds. This book arose out of a 1989 symposium at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, hosted by the Manomet Bird Observatory--a meeting widely credited for bringing Neotropical migrant landbird conservation to the forefront of attention.

Book excerpt: Bird communities are sensitive indicators of habitat type and condition. Therefore careful ornithological surveys can provide quick, practical assessments of the ecological characteristics and conservation status of many terrestrial communities in the tropical Americas. This volume provides the data essential to the success of such surveys. It compiles, for the first time, information on the ecological and geographical distributions of all 4,037 bird species of the.
Book Synopsis Centralizing Fieldwork by : Jeremy MacClancy
Download or read book Centralizing Fieldwork written by Jeremy MacClancy and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fieldwork is a central method of research throughout anthropology, a much-valued, much-vaunted mode of generating information. But its nature and process have been seriously understudied in biological anthropology and primatology. This book is the first ever comparative investigation, across primatology, biological anthropology, and social anthropology, to look critically at this key research practice. It is also an innovative way to further the comparative project within a broadly conceived anthropology, because it does not focus on common theory but on a common method. The questions asked by contributors are: what in the pursuit of fieldwork is common to all three disciplines, what is unique to each, how much is contingent, how much necessary? Can we generate well-grounded cross-disciplinary generalizations about this mutual research method, and are there are any telling differences? Co-edited by a social anthropologist and a primatologist, the book includes a list of distinguished and well-established contributors from primatology and biological anthropology.

Book Synopsis Nature's Geography by : Karl S. Zimmerer
Download or read book Nature's Geography written by Karl S. Zimmerer and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are increasingly influenced by human-induced environmental changes. It is crucial that sustainable development be based on insights into these expanding processes--conservation as well as deterioration. Nature's Geography offers a new perspective on the geographical nature of these changes. The book reveals how human-environment relations must be understood at multiple scales and time frames. Editors Karl S. Zimmerer and Kenneth R. Young have forged an exciting group of case studies from distinguished geographers focusing on high mountains, tropical forests, and lowlands, as well as humid and arid-semiarid landscapes. Each chapter analyzes the implications for meshing environmental protection and sound resource use with development. The case studies evaluate three topics: spatial habitat fragmentation and forest dynamics; disturbances in mountain ecosystems; and the major activities of settled areas, chiefly farming, livestock-raising, and forestry. Included are analyses of interactions involving wildlife, such as primates and wild pandas; assessment of fire impacts and road-building; long-term forest management as well as recent techniques; and the role of environmental variation and ecosystem properties in agriculture and rangeland. Nature's Geography demonstrates the vital importance of advancing a new approach to geography. This definitive study of landscape change and environmental dynamics will have wide appeal for those interested in geography, ecology, environmental studies, conservation biology, and development studies.
