Titre : Aimer les oiseaux du bord de mer Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bourgaud, Yannick, Auteur Editeur : Ouest-France Année de publication : 1997 Importance : 125 p. Format : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-2-7373-2311-9 Langues : Français (fre) Index. décimale : 598 Oiseaux Résumé : Dans cet ouvrage, le terme " oiseaux de mer " ne désigne pas une catégorie bien précise d'oiseaux strictement inféodés à la mer, tels les albatros, pétrels, puffins ou alcidés, mais il est pris aux sens large du terme, englobant tous les oiseaux ayant un rapport, de par leur mode de vie, plus ou moins direct avec l'élément marin, pour leur nourriture, leur reproduction ou leur sécurité.
Nous y trouvons donc les oiseaux vivant en haute mer (pétrels), des oiseaux du littoral (goélands, cormorans) et des oiseaux ne se trouvant que sur la frange du littoral, comme la plupart des petits échassiers. Puis d'autres encore, passant alternativement du milieu marin aux eaux douces ou saumâtres, tels certains canards.
Les oiseaux tous ensembles offrent une grande diversité de taille, couleur et forme. Il n'est guère facile au promeneur d'identifier chacun d'eux correctement.
Cet ouvrage n'a pas la prétention d'être un ouvrage scientifique ni un guide complet de détermination de tous les oiseaux marins d'Europe, mais il permettra aux personnes s'intéressant aux oiseaux de mer de reconnaitre la plupart de ceux qui fréquentent notre pays, soit comme nicheurs, soit comme migrateurs ou hivernants.Aimer les oiseaux du bord de mer [texte imprimé] / Bourgaud, Yannick, Auteur . - Ouest-France, 1997 . - 125 p. ; 26 cm.

Titre : Biology of marine birds Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Schreiber, E. A., Auteur Editeur : CRC press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 722 p. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8493-9882-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 598 Oiseaux Résumé : Biology of marine birds provides the only complete summary of information about marine birds ever published. It both summarizes and analyzes their breeding biology, ecology, taxonomy, evolution, fossil history, physiology, energetic, and conservation. The book covers four orders of marine birds: penguins (sphenisciformes); albatross, shearwaters, petrels (procellariiformes); pelicans, boobies, frigatebirds, tropicbirds, cormorants (pelecaniformes); and gulls, terns, guillemots, auks (charadriiformes - families laridae and alcidae). Two summary chapters address the biology of shorebirds and wading birds and their lives in the marine environment.
This comprehensive book contains numerous summary tables that give you exhaustive information on various aspects of their life histories, breeding biology, physiology and energetic, and demography. It also discusses research techniques and future research needed, providing a guide to ornithologists and students for research projects.
Written by acknowledged experts in this field, Biology of Marine Birds is the ideal resource. The authors not only present known information, but provide new analyses and insights into marine bird biology. You will find no other book that covers all the major seabird groups and all the major topics with this depth of detail. Whether you are studying, researching, or managing marine environments, you will find yourself reaching for this resource repeatedly.
Early chapters deal with the seabird fossil record and systematic. You can find the discussion of how the fossil record has played in understanding current seabird community structure especially interesting. This combines an excellent demonstration of how we can use the evolutionary history of animals to understand present day traits, with some exciting reconstructions of long-extinct species.
It would be hard to argue that most of this book contains information that turtle biologists would find relevant. Most of the discussions, particularly those covering colonial breeding, mate choice, communication and chick development, are not surprisingly set in a seabird context. However there are a number of chapters (some more than others) that may provide some interesting reading and perhaps indicate some potential avenues for research. Chapter 7, Climate and weather effects on seabirds, eventually looks at some large-scale weather/oceanographic events including El Nino and Enso and how these effect prey populations and seabird movements. Chapters 12 and 14 cover reproductive energetics and salt balance, again these are topics that could provide some relevant information, such as how egg composition and water loss varies according to feeding and incubation ecology or osmoregulatory mechanisms used by animals living in a hypertonic environment.
The areas that marine turtle newsletter readers are likely to find most interesting are covered in four main chapters. Chapter 5 investigates how seabird demography relates to the marine environment. There are discussions on factors that may lead to differences in demographic traits both within and among species. It is of interest that, because of their longevity (a trait shared with many turtle species) an understanding of demography can only be achieved by long-term studies. Moreover, there is still very little information on the survival and recruitment of young, a fundamental component of any population model. This must be a concern to turtle biologists since studies of seabird biology have are generally far easier to conduct than those of marine turtles.
Chapters 15 to 17 deal with, in turn, the effects of pollution, interactions with fisheries and conservation, topics that concern most marine vertebrates. There have been exhaustive studies of pollutant levels and effects on seabirds and chapter 15 is a comprehensive review of this subject. Chapter 16 covers the interactions, both positive and negative, between seabirds and fisheries, the most pertinent sections dealing with fishing gear entrapment and disturbance. The chapter on seabird conservation covers a many themes that all marine biologists will find depressingly familiar. Harvesting of eggs and adults, human disturbance (including scientists), climate change, introduced predators, the list goes on. It closes with a review of current legislation, outlining research priorities and the need for increased public awareness. In this latter section the authors point out that the legislation to reduce the bycatch of US long-lining vessels in the south Atlantic was strongly influenced by both scientific and public opinion. There is hope.
In short a very useful book, a must for anyone working with or interested in seabirds. From the point of view of a turtle biologist, some chapters could provide interesting ideas and approaches, but it may be slightly expensive as a personal purchase.Biology of marine birds [texte imprimé] / Schreiber, E.

Titre : Breeding seasons and reproductive physiology of tricolored blackbirds and redwinged blackbirds Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Payne, Robert B., Auteur Editeur : RUC Année de publication : 1969 Importance : 137 p. Format : 26 cm. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 598 Oiseaux Résumé : Tricolored blackbirds (Agelaius tricolor) nest in central California both in spring and, in smaller numbers, in autumn. The closely related sympatric red-winged blackbirds (A. phoeniceus californicus) breed only in spring. The tricolored blackbirds breed both in years of late summer rains and in dry years, nest-both in the hills and in irrigated agricultural lands. The autumnal breeding season of tricolored blackbirds is of particular interest to concepts of the physiological control of sexual activity; gonadal development of songbirds in temperate regions with predictable seasonal rainfall is generally thought to be controlled by the increasing daylengths of springtime.
The annual testis cycles of the two species are nearly identical with the exception of a recrudescence in some male tricolored blackbirds in early autumn at the completion of molt. While spermatogenesis is similar in other birds, the histological details of testieular regression at the end of the breeding season in redwinged blackbirds and in males feeding their young in tricolored blackbirds indicate both a massive lipoidal degeneration in the tubules and also a pronounced invasion of the interstitium and the tubules with lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear granular leucocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts. The infiltration by these cells characteristic of injured tissues argues against a proposed secretory (progestin) function of the steroidal, post-nuptial seminiferous tubule. The cytological changes in the epithelioid interstitial cells of the testes, including lipid and cholesterol activity, suggest a histophysiological basis for androgen secretion both during seasonal testicular enlargement and in the breeding season.
Species differences in ovarian development through the nesting cycle are correlated with differences in the time required for nest-building, but in both species the clutch size is determined by means of the differential rate of growth of ovarian follicles by the first day of laying. Renesting of individual blackbirds within a week of the loss of an unsuccessful clutch is possible apparently through the retention of relatively small, lightly yolked ovarian follicles in the ovary through in-cubation and the early period of parental care.
Breeding of females of both blackbirds involves deposition of fat as an energy reserve before the final stages of ovarian development. Restriction of mass yolk deposition in the ovary to the precise number of follicles that are ovulated and to the four days immediately before ovulation is important in the energy balance of breeding females. Females lose their body fat deposits and decrease significantly in body weight during laying, incubation, and the period of parental care. The post-nuptial molt in summer is completed in about two months in both species; molt is delayed in late-nesting blackbirds. Changes in fat and weight in early winter indicate a strain on the energy balance, and adaptive flexibility of the breeding-molting schedule occurs also in autumn with the absence of a second postnuptial molt after the autumnal breeding season in tricolored blackbirds.
Experimental studies show that males and females of both species develop large gonads in response to long daylengths. The rate of growth of the testes of wild blackbirds in spring corresponds closely to the rate predicted from the experimentally determined photoperiodic response. Development of ovarian follicles up to 2.0 mm diameter in females on long photoperiods is independent of male song and display. Tricolored blackbirds held under natural seasonal daylength for nine-teen months were sexually active in spring but remained inactive during autumn. The majority of males in early autumn are refractory to long photoperiods. Sexually active males in the field in autumn are thought to be mainly the individuals that nest successfully early in spring as the testes of males feeding young in spring regress earlier than do the testes of other males. Some younger males develop large testes in their second autumn. Male tricolored blackbirds showed gonadal enlargement in autumn in experimental conditions only when the phases of their refractory periods were altered, but all experimental females developed enlarged ovaries in early autumn when fed live grasshoppers or soaked by simulated rains.
The difference in breeding seasons in these two blackbirds is related to species differences both in physiological control of sexual activity and in ecology. Gonadal development and nesting in tricolored blackbirds are apparently controlled in part directly by rainfall, an abundance of food, and social interaction, as well as by daylength. Rainfall and food are temporary features of the environment and so have little value of prediction of future environmental conditions in the long run to species such as the redwinged blackbirds which have extended periods of territorial establishment, mate selection, and nest-building.
