Overview

In this book, Cox proposes to evaluate the capacity of migratory birds to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate. He reviews, synthesizes, and interprets recent and emerging science on this topic, beginning with a discussion of climate change and its effect on habitat, followed by eleven chapters taking up different groups of birds. The final four chapters address the evolutionary capacity of birds (which is at the heart of the question about their adaptability) and the shape of conservation in an era of global change.
