Chapters are well supported with  charts, maps, schematic diagrams, and photographs. \u003cem\u003eCurrent  Ornithology\u003c\/em\u003e is the only English-language publication currently  devoted exclusively to extensive reviews and synthesis of topics  pertaining to all aspects of the biology of birds. Chapters fall under  such diverse rubrics as ecology, evolution, behavior, phylogeny,  behavioral ecology, anatomy and physiology, and conservation biology.  All authors are leading authorities on their subjects, and each  chapter is refereed by experts in the topics covered. Although all  chapters focus primarily on birds, some topics, such as the social  cognition of birds as compared to primates (Volume 13), have  significant application to disciplines outside of ornithology.  \u003cem\u003eCurrent Ornithology\u003c\/em\u003e aims to provide an accessible, up-to-date,  accurate source of data and to contribute to conceptual generalization  and unification across the biological sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461357438\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1835-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343556079756,"sku":"9781461357438","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461357438.jpg?v=1775735213","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461357438","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
