Redâ€'Winged Blackbirds â€' Decisionâ€'Making Reproductive Success
de Les D Beletsky(Ed. University of Chicago Press) Isbn : 0226041875
33.08 €
Drawing on detailed data from their sixteen-year study of red-winged blackbirds in the marshes of Washington's Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, Beletsky and Orians analyze the information redwings use to make breeding-season decisions and the consequences these decisions have for lifetime reproductive success. Because male and female redwings make different, and often independent, decisions--males focus on territory acquisition and maintenance, while females must choose when and where to nest...

Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems: Proceedings of the Eso Workshop Held in Garching, Germany, 27-30 August 2002
de Workshop on Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems(Ed. Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K) Isbn : 3540404724
43.7 €
Dramatic progress is a trademark of the recent study of globular cluster systems. Considerations about the formation and evolution compose the first chapter, followed by a chapter on young star clusters. Then come four chapters reviewing the globular cluster system of early-type, late-type and dwarf galaxies, as well as of groups of galaxies. One chapter is dedicated to stellar population models and their applications to the field. Finally a chapter reviews the kinematics of galaxies derived from globular cluster systems and another their role in the context of galaxy formation and evolution studies. As a whole, the book gives an up-to-date view of the field at the beginning of the new decade, which will without doubt again bring significant progress in our understanding of globular cluste...
