Produktbeschreibung
With their curious feeding behaviour, peculiar elongated body,
gregarious social lives and exotic pink plumage, flamingos are among
the most familiar and popular of all the world's birds. They have
inspired artists, poets and amateur naturalists for centuries, but
until 50 years ago very little was known about their biology. A growing
number of scientists
have directed their attention to these magnificent birds over recent
years; this book summarises current understanding of flamingo biology,
with detailed discussion of population dynamics, ecology, movements,
feeding, breeding biology and conservation, with emphasis placed on the
authors' work on the famous population of Greater Flamingos in the
Camargue region of southern France. There is also a detailed guide to
breeding areas, and an outline of future challenges for research.
