This multi-author volume reviews the present state of knowledge about the physiology and ecophysiology of migratory birds. Main aspects are patterns of migration, ecological and behavioural aspects of migration, physiological adaptations to migration, bird flight, and strategies and tactics of migration. Based on papers presented during a symposium, Bird Migration offers both students and senior scientists a comprehensive survey.
