In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the evolution and behavior, breeding strategies, migration and spread of disease within the bird species. Topics discussed in this compilation include sex determination in birds; structure and function of the avian respiratory system, with discussion regarding its predisposition to injury by particulates and pathogenic microorganisms; distribution and dispersion of coccidia in wild passerines of the Americas; an animal geography of the dominant urban avian scavenger in contrasting case studies; recent infectious diseases or the

Qu'est-ce que serait un territoire du point de vue des animaux ? Vinciane Desprer mène l'enquête auprès des ornithologues Car ce qui l'intéresse surtout, c'est d'observer la naissance et le développement de l'intérêt que les scientifiques portent aux oiseaux. Où l'on voit alors que, plus on étudie les oiseaux, plus les choses se compliquent. De nouvelles manières de faire territoire apparaissent, bien plus complexes que les ornithologues ne pouvaient l'imaginer.Et si ces manières n'étaient que du spectacle, des parades dont personne n'est vraiment dupe ? Et si ce n'était qu'un jeu, pour "faire semblant" ? Et si l'on prêtait attention au fait que les territoires sont toujours collés les uns aux autres ? Ne seraient-ils pas, alors, une façon pour les oiseaux de continuer à vivre ensemble en étant autrement organises ? Sous la plume de Vinciane Despret, oiseaux et ornithologues deviennent intensément vivants et extrêmement attachants.A l'issue de ce livre, on ne devrait plus considérer la notion de territoire comme allant de soi. Et l'on n'entendra peut-être plus de la même façon les oiseaux chanter.

Birds are the most consistently inventive builders, and their nests set the bar for functional design in nature. Avian Architecture describes how birds design, engineer, and build their nests, deconstructing all types of nests found around the world using architectural blueprints and detailed descriptions of the construction processes and engineering techniques birds use. This spectacularly illustrated book features 300 full-color images and more than 35 case studies that profile key species worldwide. Each chapter covers a different type of nest, from tunnel nests and mound nests to floating nests, hanging nests, woven nests, and even multiple-nest avian cities. Other kinds of avian construction--such as bowers and harvest wells--are also featured. Avian Architecture includes intricate step-by-step sequences, visual spreads on nest-building materials and methods, and insightful commentary by a leading expert. Illustrates how birds around the world design, engineer, and build their nests Features architectural blueprints, step-by-step sequences, visual spreads on nest-building materials and methods, and expert commentary Includes 300 full-color images Covers more than 100 bird species worldwide
