The Little Owl: Conservation, Ecology and Behavior of Athene Noctua de Dries Van Nieuwenhuyse

The Little Owl: Conservation, Ecology and Behavior of Athene Noctua

Autor Dries Van Nieuwenhuyse, Jean-Claude Génot, David H. Johnson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 sep 2008
Our understanding of the basic biology of owls is poor compared to that of other bird species. The Little Owl, Athene noctua, has become one of the best models for biological and conservation research, due to its commonness and the fact that it occupies nest-boxes very easily. In this unique book the authors synthesise the substantial literature, and detail current information regarding the Little Owl. They discuss its wide-ranging ecology, genetics and subspecies and population status by country. In addition, they outline a strategy and monitoring program for its conservation. The book features an outstanding bibliography of literature on the Little Owl, listing publications dated from 1769 to 2007, in many languages, including Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch. Whilst being an invaluable resource for academic researchers, its straightforward style holds undoubted appeal for amateurs and enthusiasts.

Recenzii

Review of the hardback: '… Van Nieuwenhuyse and his co-authors have certainly given us a fascinating read. However, the most impressive aspect of this book is the huge amount of work the authors did to cover almost all the literature ever published in every type of source … if you want to know anything about the Little Owl, this book probably contains the information you seek, while clues are also offered to some as-yet-unanswered questions.' Ibis
Review of the hardback: 'The book comprehensively covers all aspects of the Little Owl's life, including sections on history, conservation, breeding biology, behaviour, habitat, food, distribution, taxonomy and world population. In other words virtually everything you would want to know about the species may be found here.' Scottish Birds
Review of the hardback: 'This wonderful monograph draws on an astonishing 1900 references and decades of fieldwork, accumulated by three enthusiastic, leading 'owlologists'. … You can feel the authors' passion for this species on every page … The Little Owl is a 'must-have' for anyone who has become spellbound by this charming and charismatic species.' Peregrine
'A must have for those with an interest in the little owl or owls in general.' Birdbooker Report (guardian.co.uk)
