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 bird
