درباره این کتاب:
Seabirds are
global travellers connecting oceans and
seas all over the world, and facing
multiple threats at local and global
scales. Seabirds are long-lived top
predators, reflecting changes at lower
trophic levels, and are good models to
assess ecological changes produced by
human societies. Thus, world-wide
collaborations are needed to understand
seabird ecology and to develop effective
conservation measures benefitting both
humans and seabird populations.
This book provides a modern overview on
seabird biodiversity studies: it begins by
covering the most up-to-date techniques to
study seabirds, and then focus on
pragmatic issues related with interactions
between seabirds and humans, the use of
seabirds as ecological indicators and
conservation of seabirds. It gives an
updated insight on all these topics and
highlights gaps that need further
development for a comprehensive
understanding of the relationships between
seabirds and human actions.
This book covers the response of the
seabird research community to a
biodiversity crisis aiming to contribute
towards environmental sustainability. It
should provide inspiration to a wide range
of professionals and students, including
the much needed world-wide collaboration
between research groups and practitioners.
In this way seabird research and
conservation provide an inspiration for
the solution of global issues such as
climate change.
