Authors are based in Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Is there evidence for wholesale population declines in North Ameri can birds? Robert Askins says yes, with qualifications. Fragmentation of forest causes the population of many forest-interior species to decline, and loss of winter forest habitat in Mexico, Central America, and the Greater Antilles is potentially serious. Trends over the past 25 years are, however, difficult to discern. Grassland and shrubland specialists have likewise diminished over the past quarter century. Askins calls for management of regional landscapes to maintain habitat diversity. As for habitats, William Block and Leonard Brennan review the role of ornithology in developing the concept of "habitat." Their intention is to stimulate ornithologists to consider habitat as a unifying concept in con temporary ecology. They describe uses of the habitat concept in basic and exper | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | anatomy; behavior; biology; bird; conservation biology; ecology; evolution; forest; ornithology; phylogeny; ph | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-9912-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4757-9914-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-9912-5 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1993 |
