Knowledge on their natural history is scattered into old general Handbooks and Bird Guides and refers mostly to basic aspects in the north of its breeding area. However, during the last two decades, there is an upsurge of research on roller conservation and ecology. Our aim in the proposed book is to provide an up-to-date picture of the roller´s natural history by compiling and synthetizing all the scientific knowledge on ecology and conservation of the species across its distributional range. Beyond this, the book is structured around the idea that the roller is a sentinel species of human impacts on European steppes and farmlands, and, the need to address holistic approaches (multipopulation-studies and considering complete life cycle from breeding sites to wintering and migration) to obtain areal picture of human impacts on wildlife. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed at professional ecologists, behavioural ecologists and conservation biologists working with birds, practitioners, wildlife and conservation managers. Moreover, this book is of interest to a large audience, in particular those naturalists and bird enthusiast people who collect books on the natural history of animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJesús Miguel Avilés\u003c\/strong\u003e, Unidad Asociada (CSIC): Ecología en el Antropoceno, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Extremadura, Badajoz, Spain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeseada Parejo\u003c\/strong\u003e, Unidad Asociada (CSIC): Ecología en el Antropoceno, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Extremadura, Badajoz, Spain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 July 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032249029\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e307\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46919449542796,"sku":"9783032249029","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032249029.jpg?v=1781059830","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032249029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
