However, humans are increasingly disrupting the natural cycles of these wetlands, and for these pink birds characteristic of these salt lakes, it is becoming more and more difficult to find suitable habitats, food and breeding grounds. Their fate is considered a cautionary example of man’s dealings with nature. Will the Lesser Flamingo survive in a man-made world?.Flamingos are considered to be an embodiment of the Phoenix, and the author interweaves his personal experiences with and observations of the flamingos’ unusual habitats with the Phoenix motif in order to stimulate reflection on the circle of life. Written in an accessible style that combines science, biological information and the author’s own travels and fieldwork, the book also includes a wealth of captivating images. As such, it offers a unique resource for biologists and nature-loving Africa and Asia enthusiasts alike.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Phoeniconaias minor; Saline wetlands; Alkaline lakes; Food web interactions; Algae; Cyanobacterium Arthro | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-58163-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-58163-6 | copyright | Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 |
