Birds as Monitors of Environmental Change looks at how bird populations are affected by pollutants, water quality, and other physical changes and how this scientific knowledge can help in predicting the effects of pollutants and other physical changes in the environment.

Reviews

provides excellent summaries of the state of knowledge of birds as indicators for a variety of environmental changes and places this topic within the broader context of monitoring theory - Conservation Biology; ...essential reading for anyone interested in the ecology of birds, ecotoxicology or in the potential use of bioindicator organisms as monitors of man-made, and other, environmental change -TREE; Explains the principles and practices of using birds not only to monitor changes in the environment, but also to indicate which changes are significant and need to be monitored |o SciTech Book News |d April 1994
