The European Anatidae - An Easy Method of Identifying Swans, Geese and Ducks
This text contains a brilliant guide to the correct identification of swans, ducks, and geese. Complete with a plethora of highly detailed and helpful illustrations, tables, and diagrams, this handbook is perfect for those with an interest in this area of ornithology and makes for a great addition to any collection of such texts. The sections of this book are: 'Measurements', 'Special Characteristics of Anatidae', 'Key to the Plates', 'Swans', 'Geese', 'Surface-Feeding Ducks', and 'Diving-Ducks'. This antique book has been elected for modern republication due to its timeless educational value, and we are proud to republish it here complete with a new introduction to the subject of ornithology.
A Monograph on the Anatidae or Duck Tribe
Reprint of the original, first published in 1838.
Waterbirds Around the World
This book is the outcome of a major international conference on waterbirds held in Edinburgh in April 2004.
Catalogue of Helminths of Waterfowl (Anatidae)
This catalogue summarizes the information available on each helminth reported as a parasite of waterfowl ("waterfowl" is used here as a term for the Anatidae only): the names applied to it, its life history, hosts, location in the host, geographical distribution, frequency of record in waterfowl, and importance as a cause of disease. This paper is incomplete in certain respects; no general catalogue can include all the pertinent literature of the world and new information is constantly being added. About 120 papers each year record data and describe about 15 new species of helminths in waterfowl.
The status and distribution of freshwater biodiversity in the eastern Mediterranean
The Eastern Mediterranean region supports just over 4.4% of the global human population yet contains only 1.1% of its renewable water resources, which are under constant threat from the impacts of unsustainable water withdrawal, dam development and climate change. This IUCN report and accompanying dataset represents a major advance in the provision of information to help incorporate biodiversity needs into water development planning processes within an Integrated River Basin Management framework. This volume includes species information compiled for each river and lake sub-basin and incorporates information from the assessment conducted by IUCN's Global Species Programme, in collaboration with its partners, of the status and distribution of all described species of freshwater fishes, molluscs, odonates, and plants from across the Eastern Mediterranean with existing information for species of freshwater dependent amphibians, birds, crustaceans, and mammals. This work represents the most comprehensive assessment yet of freshwater biodiversity at the species level for this part of the world.
Annotated Bibliography of Helminths of Waterfowl (Anatidae)
This bibliography is an attempt to list all the publications dealing with helminth of waterfowl (Anatidae) -- reports of their occurrence, descriptions, classification, life history, and pathological effects. It brings up-to-date and revises the work published on microfilm in 1965 (Wildlife Disease, No. 45). Studies on prophylaxis and treatment and on physiology, and general manuals and texts on poultry diseases are omitted. Publications issued before 1890 (numbering about 120) are also omitted as the information in many of these is incomplete and the identification dubious.
