Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names
Author: James A. JoblingPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408133261
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
A comprehensive dictionary of the meaning and derivation of scientific bird names. Many scientific bird names describe a bird's habits, habitat, distribution or a plumage feature, while others are named after their discoverers or in honour of prominent ornithologists. This extraordinary work of reference lists the generic and specific name for almost every species of bird in the world and gives its meaning and derivation. In the case of eponyms brief biographical details are provided for each of the personalities commemorated in the scientific names. This fascinating book is an outstanding source of information which will both educate and inform, and may even help to understand birds better.
Ecology and Behavior of Chickadees and Titmice
Author: Ken A. OtterPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198569998
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Members of the Paridae family represent popular organisms for ornithological research. This is due to the flexibility to study this group of birds in both the lab and the natural environment. In contrast to previously published literature, this volume concentrates on research themes. The editor has invited a team of leading specialists to provide a synopsis of ecological and behavioural research, and to compare and contrast this with what is known from Old World members of this family (e.g. blue tit and great tit) as well as other avian groups.

Munias and Mannikins
Author: Robin RestallPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408135450
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book covers 43 species of munias and mannikins. Munias are widespread throughout the Old World's tropical regions. In their natural habitat, they are birds of the savanna, but they have adapted to a number of different habitats, including areas inhabited by humans. They range in size from the Java sparrow (which is about the size of a common starling) to the diminutive Madagascar mannikin. Their striking plumage makes them popular as cagebirds and they breed readily in captivity. The author has recently described one new species and ten new subspecies to science.
