Essential Ornithology is a comprehensive and concise introduction to the biology of birds, one of the most widely studied taxonomic groups. The book delves into the origins of birds, their evolution, development, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, migration, ecology, and conservation. It provides an applied context by addressing aspects of bird-human relationships and bird conservation. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest information from rapidly developing fields such as the avian fossil record, urban and agricultural ecology, responses to climate change, invasive species biology, technologies to track movement, avian disease, and the role of citizen scientists. A greater focus on North American ornithology is also present. The text draws extensively from the broader scientific literature, presenting classical studies of avian biology alongside the most recent scientific breakthroughs. Useful case studies are presented in a concise and engaging style, with the student reader as the primary focus. Key points are highlighted, and suggestions for guided reading and key references are included throughout. Essential Ornithology serves as a companion textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses in avian science, as well as a valuable reference for professional researchers and consultants. Amateur ornithologists will also find this book offers a scientifically rigorous and accessible overview for a more general readership.
