Series: Oxford Ornithology Series

Birds are hosts to many parasites, internal and external. The parasites inevitably form a burden to the host bird and therefore may affect its ability to grow, survive, and reproduce; its behaviour; and the distribution and abundance of the whole species. In consequence, bird-parasite systems have attracted attention from diverse fields and the literature has been spread out in a wide range of specialized journals. The editors of this book have drawn together a comprehensive range of experts in the field to provide an invaluable reference of current work in bird-parasite interactions. The book is divided into four parts. The introduction provides the contemporary context of research in bird-parasite systems and presents case studies which combine theoretical concepts with experimental data. Subsequent parts focus on the ecology; behavioural responses; and the effect of parasitism on sexual selection.

'The editors of this book have drawn together a comprehensive range of experts in the field to provide an invaluable reference of current work in bird-parasite interactions.' Ethology Ecology & Evolution No. 4, Vol, 3 1991 'the editors have created something of a benchmark' Andrew F. Read, University of Oxford, TREE, vol.6, no.12, December 1991 'This is an important book for ornithologists but also for parasitologists and those who are interested in ecology and (co)evolution.' Rob de Boer, Dutch Birding, Volume 13, No.6, 1991 'I would strongly recommend this volume to biologists in general and to ornithologists in particular. It contains a great deal of interesting information' Recent Ornithological Publications
