Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial role of standing dead trees, or snags, in supporting the biodiversity of ponderosa pine forests. It reveals how these often-overlooked elements of the ecosystem provide essential nesting, roosting, and foraging habitat for a variety of bird species, particularly secondary cavity nesters who rely on pre-existing cavities for survival. The author meticulously examines the intricate relationships between snag characteristics, such as diameter, height, and bark cover, and the preferences of different bird species. Through detailed observations and analysis, the book uncovers the factors influencing snag selection and highlights the impact of forest management practices on snag availability and, consequently, bird populations. Exploring the historical context of snag removal due to fire hazard concerns and timber harvesting, the book challenges conventional forestry practices and advocates for the preservation of snags as a vital component of forest ecosystems. It underscores the ecological significance of snags, not only for birds but also for other wildlife, and emphasizes their contribution to the overall health and resilience of ponderosa pine forests. Ultimately, this book illuminates the often-unseen value of snags and offers compelling evidence for their conservation. By understanding the intricate connections between snags and the avian community, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complex web of life within ponderosa pine forests and the importance of preserving these essential habitats for future generations.

[0-19-854860-5] 1996. (Hardcover) Fine, no dust jacket. 420pp. Tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, notes, indices. "The idea for this book arose from an attempt to comprehend the evolution and maintenance of long-term monogamy in geese and swans, species in which mates maintain contact all day, each season, often for life. Somehow these pair members stay together in large foraging flocks and during gruelling migrations. The stimulus behind the book was sheer intrigue about the possible link between the partners' team work and reproductive performance and why this lifestyle varies across species" - from the 1995 Preface by Jeffrey Black. Book about Monogamy. Contributors include Frank Adriaensen, Russell P. Balda, T. R. Birkhead, Stuart Bradley, Sharmila Choudhury, Andre Desrochers, Andre A. Dhondt, Steven D. Emslie, Bruno J.
