Publicación conjunta de Durham University, RSPB y Lynx Edicions en asociación con University of Cambridge, BirdLife International y EBCC. Se trata del primer libro que realiza una investigación exhaustiva de la relación entre la distribución de las aves nidificantes en Europa y el clima actual, y de cómo el cambio climático podría alterar la distribución potencial de nidificación de cada especie. Los resultados se presentan de manera detallada para 431 especies, con reseñas breves para otras 48 especies nativas y 16 introducidas. El volumen incluye resúmenes de los patrones climáticos y de vegetación en Europa, un análisis biogeográfico de las aves nidificantes de dicho continente, una revisión de la base de los estudios sobre las relaciones entre la distribución de las especies y el clima y un debate sobre los métodos utilizados en dichos estudios. Contiene también un sumario de los cambios previstos que experimentará el clima en Europa hasta finales de siglo así como un debate sobre la respuesta de las especies al cambio climático. Además, para cada una de las 431 especies, se incluye un breve resumen de su distribución y ecología, mapas de su distribución recientemente corregida y de su potencial futura distribución a finales del siglo XXI, una representación gráfica de la respuesta de cada especie a las tres variables bioclimáticas principales, acompañada de un texto describiendo los posibles efectos que el cambio climático pueda tener sobre dichas especies. Finalmente, se incluye una síntesis y una recapitulación de los resultados obtenidos del conjunto de 431 especies examinadas y una sección final presentando las implicaciones de estos resultados, especialmente con respecto a la conservación de aves en Europa.

Download The Wren Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
From the bestselling author of The Robin: A Biography, Stephan Moss: The wren is a paradox of a bird. They are Britain's most common bird, with 8.5 million breeding pairs and have by far the loudest song in proportion to their size. They also thrive up and down Britain and Ireland: from the smallest city garden to remote offshore islands, blustery moors to chilly mountains. Yet many people are not sure if they have ever seen a wren. Perhaps because the wren is so tiny, weighing just as much as two A4 sheets of paper, and so busy, always on the move, more mouse than bird. However if we cast our eyes back to recent history wrens were a mainstay of literary, cultural and popular history. The wren was on postage stamps and the farthing, it featured in nursery rhymes and greetings cards, poems and rural 'wren hunts', still a recent memory in Ireland particularly. With beautiful illustrations throughout, this captivating year-in-the-life biography reveals the hidden secrets of this fascinating bird that lives right on our doorstep.

Devoted to birds and wildlife since childhood, Mark’s early scientific research at Oxford, Aberdeen and the RSPB provided a solid background for his management, ambassadorial, and political lobbying activities which were to follow – and his larger than life, yet quietly humane personality has provided the final tools in his own, unique, nature conservationists’ toolbox. In this book, Mark mixes a great many stories from his professional life at the RSPB with personal anecdotes and passionate arguments on past and present issues in bird and nature conservation. He shows us something of the many scientists whose work paves the way for conservation action, places domestic conservation into an international context, takes us behind the scenes to glimpse the politicians who have worked with him, or against him, along the way. Mark leaves us armed with practical tips and a guiding philosophy to take wildlife conservation though the troubled years that lie ahead. A personal, philosophical and political history of 25 years of bird conservation, this book provides an instructive and amusing read for all those who would like a glimpse into the birds and wildlife conservation world – what the issues are, what must be done, how it can be done, and the challenges, highs and lows involved.

"The effects of climate change on ecosystems are complex. The impact on the species and habitats protected by the Bern Convention may differ widely, depending on the species, their habitats and location. This publication includes six expert reports presenting concrete measures for addressing the vulnerability of Europe's natural heritage in the face of climate change and its effects, and how this heritage must adapt in order to survive. This publication reproduces the full text of Recommendation 135 (2008) on addressing the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, adopted by the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention in November 2008, which stresses the urgent need to tackle the impact of climate change on biological diversity and on its conservation. With this publication, the Council of Europe aims to increase awareness about the links between biodiversity and climate, and emphasise the large potential for synergies when addressing biodiversity loss and climate change in an integrated manner."--P. [4] of cover.
