New Perspectives in Ornithology

21st Century Dispatches across the World of Birds
People have been long-fascinated with birds, and their scientific study has been central to advances in evolution, animal behavior, biogeography, population dynamics, and community ecology. Research questions in these fields have been driven in part by innovations in technology. Ornithologists even 20 years ago could scarcely imagine the detail and precision with which we can now monitor bird populations on a global scale, whether through digital tools like eBird, indirectly through remote sensing satellites, or at closer range via drones.Highlighting these advances, New Perspectives in Ornithology brings together leading and rising professionals across ornithology, spanning behavior and ecology to genomics and conservation. Organized thematically into five sections - ecology, evolution, behavior, citizen science, and conservation - the volume reflects the major swaths of modern ornithology. Its contributions offer diverse perspectives on some of the most pressing challenges facing birds today, including climate change, habitat loss, and effects of urbanization. New Perspectives in Ornithology also showcases extraordinary and inspiring new insights into how birds work, their amazing colors and songs, movements around the globe, and their deep-time evolution.Approachable and conversational in style, yet scientifically rigorous, this volume is essential reading for graduate students, early career researchers, and senior academics, and anyone else who will need to be aware of key approaches and conceptual domains in ornithology today.
