The Migration Ecology of Birds, Second Edition covers all aspects of this absorbing subject, including the migratory process, the problems of navigation and vagrancy, the timing and physiological control of migration, large scale movement patterns and their evolution, the effects of recent climate change, the particular problems that migrants face and the factors that limit their populations. It provides a thorough and in-depth review of the s...

The phenomenon of bird migration has fascinated people from time immemorial. The arrivals and departures of different species marked the seasons, heralding spring and autumn, and providing a reliable calendar long before anything better became available.

Ian Newton weighs in on the points of curiosity on the subject of bird migration.

An exploration of the avian life of the uplands, going over hunting and foraging processes in one of the most biologically significant areas of Britain.

Ian Newton, author of Farming and Birds and Bird Migration returns to the New Naturalist series with a long awaited look at the uplands and its birds.

Featuring new findings and the latest research, it examines what can be learnt about the needs and ecologies of different bird species, many of which are dependent on human activity.

Including new findings and updated research, Newton discusses the changes in bird populations that have occurred.

This book should be of value to anyone interested in bird evolution and taxonomy, biogeography, distributional history, dispersal and migration patterns. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of current knowledge on species formation, and the factors influencing current distribution patterns. It draws heavily on new information on Earth history, including past glacial and other climatic changes, on new developments in molecular biology and palae...

Earlier naturalists formed the impression that bird numbers remained more or less stable through time. In the years since these words were written, however, changes have occurred in the landscapes of the British Isles and in the seas around our coasts, causing bird populations to fluctuate in an unprecedented way.

The phenomenon of bird migration has fascinated people from time immemorial. The arrivals and departures of different species marked the seasons, heralding spring and autumn, and providing a reliable calendar long before anything better became available. This edition is produced from an original copy by William Collins.

This book meets the demand for a comprehensive introduction to understanding the processes of population limitation. Recognized world-wide as a respected biologist and communicator, Dr. Ian Newton has now written a clear and detailed treatise on local scale population limiting factors in birds. It is based almost entirely on results from field studies, though it is set in a contemporary theoretical framework. The 16 chapters fall under three m...

This book presents an up-to-date, detailed and thorough review of the most fascinating ecological findings of bird migration. 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...
