Abstract

The red-winged blackbird is not only one of North America's commonest birds, but also its best studied. It exemplifies the contribution that in-depth species studies can make to many of the central issues in behavioral ecology. In this book, Les Beletsky calls on 20 years experience of redwings to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of all the major work done with these birds. These studies on the redwings' polygynous breeding system, strong territoriality, complex vocal communications, and broad distribution shed light on many themes of key interest to behaviorists and ecologists interested in the evolution of mate choice and species adaptations to habitats which vary in character in different parts of their range. An extra dimension is added in the consideration of redwings as pests, a widespread and often serious problem in crops of rice and corn. This book is written in an easy style, and will serve as an introduction, to both student and layperson, to redwings and what they can teach us of behavioural ecology. The red-winged blackbird provides the research worker with a balanced summary and comprehensive bibliography of one of ornithology's widest and deepest studies.

Abstract

En 1971, la TSR évoque dans un reportage l'originalité urbanistique et architecturale de Carouge. Fil rouge de l’émission, l’historien André Corboz a consacré la première étude sérieuse à la construction de la cité sarde.Poste avancé du royaume de Sardaigne sous l'Ancien Régime, la ville, ennemie politique de Genève, s'est développée à la fin du 18e siècle. Rues perpendiculaires, maisons au rez-de-chaussée en arcades dépassant rarement deux étages, riche arborisation des espaces urbains : tant par son plan que par son style, Carouge est un lieu à part.De lourdes menaces planent cependant sur la cité. La spéculation immobilière a conduit à la disparition de rues entières. Des bâtiments massifs viennent bousculer les ordonnancements harmonieux du 18e siècle. Il n’est pas question ici de s’opposer au développement de l’agglomération. Des exemples d’intégration réussie existe. C’est le cas par exemple des tours de Carouge. Construites à l’extérieur du centre-ville, ces constructions prolongent le paysage de la ville sans pour autant le dénaturer.
