This has been inspired, in large part, by the conservation concerns associated with numerical declines in several sea duck species and populations, as well as a growing appreciation for their interesting ecological attributes. Reflecting the considerable research recently conducted on this tribe, Ecology and Conservation of North American Sea Ducks examines the 15 extant species of sea ducks from North America.Chapters are organized conceptually to focus on, compare, and contrasStudies in avian biology ;Volume 46.Wildlife conservationNorth AmericaSea ducksEcologyNorth AmericaSea ducksConservationNorth AmericaWildlife conservationSea ducksEcologySea ducksConservation598.4/1Savard Jean-Pierre L.Derksen Dirk V.Esler Dan(Daniel),Eadie John M(John McAllister),1955-FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910811877603321Ecology and conservation of North American sea ducks4020996UNINA
