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 contras 410 0$aStudies in avian biology ;$vVolume 46. 606 $aWildlife conservation$zNorth America 606 $aSea ducks$xEcology$zNorth America 606 $aSea ducks$xConservation$zNorth America 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aSea ducks$xEcology 615 0$aSea ducks$xConservation 676 $a598.4/1 702 $aSavard$b Jean-Pierre L. 702 $aDerksen$b Dirk V. 702 $aEsler$b Dan$g(Daniel), 702 $aEadie$b John M$g(John McAllister),$f1955- 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811877603321 996 $aEcology and conservation of North American sea ducks$94020996 997 $aUNINA
