It deals with all aspects of this absorbing subject, including the problems of navigation and vagrancy, the timing and physiological control of migration, the factors that limit their populations, and more. Author, Ian Newton, reveals the extraordinary adaptability of birds to the variable and changing conditions across the globe, including current climate change. This adventurous book places emphasis on ecological aspects, which have received only scant attention in pr 606 $aBirds$xMigration 606 $aBirds$xEcology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBirds$xMigration. 615 0$aBirds$xEcology. 676 $a598.1568 700 $aNewton$b Ian$0293381 701 $aBrockie$b Keith$0912299 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458578203321 996 $aThe migration ecology of birds$92210019 997 $aUNINA
