NICOBAR PIGEON: A Comprehensive Guide to the Biology, Behavior, and Conservation of Caloenas nicobarica Across Island Ecosystems - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover the extraordinary story of one of the world’s most captivating and scientifically significant birds — the Nicobar Pigeon (Caloenas nicobarica), the last living relative of the extinct dodo and Rodrigues solitaire. This comprehensive and authoritative volume brings together cutting-edge research, cultural history, and forward-looking conservation strategies to illuminate the biology, ecology, and symbolic power of this iridescent island species.
Spanning millions of years of evolution, this book traces the Nicobar Pigeon’s origins, anatomy, behavior, and genetics with scholarly precision and engaging clarity. Readers are guided through its shimmering physical adaptations, complex social structure, and vital ecological role as a seed disperser across the Indo-Pacific archipelagos. From the rainforests and mangroves of the Nicobar and Andaman Islands to the coral atolls of Southeast Asia, this work reveals the pigeon’s intimate relationship with the fragile ecosystems it sustains.
More than a scientific monograph, this book is a visionary call for conservation and coexistence. It explores restoration ecology, reforestation of island corridors, and the potential of artificial intelligence, drone monitoring, and genomic banking to safeguard the species’ genetic legacy. The narrative also examines how indigenous knowledge, ecotourism, and citizen-science initiatives are transforming public engagement in biodiversity protection, making the Nicobar Pigeon a global emblem of collaborative stewardship.
Beautifully written and meticulously researched, The Nicobar Pigeon: A Living Legacy of Island Evolution is both an educational resource and an inspiration for ornithologists, ecologists, students, and nature enthusiasts. Whether you are drawn by its evolutionary connection to the dodo or its glimmering presence across tropical skies, this book invites you to witness the survival of an ancient lineage — a living relic of avian evolution and a symbol of hope for the future of island biodiversity.
Ideal for:
Ornithologists, ecologists, and conservation biologists
Students and researchers of island biogeography and evolution
Birdwatchers, naturalists, and eco-travelers
Readers passionate about wildlife preservation, citizen science, and environmental education
