Reviews

'Behavioral and population ecologists will find much value in this highly accessible book. Recommended.' R. L. Smith, Choice 'Most texts on owls are descriptive, and so this one is unusual in having so much scientific research on a single species ... the content is interesting ... deserves to be found in libraries.' Professor Jim Lynch OBE FSB, The Biologist 'One of the most valuable aspects of the book is the integration of 40 years of research that encompasses many different research questions focussed on a single species ... clearly took tremendous effort and dedication; few other studies will match this one in extent and duration.' Ecology 'This sumptuous book, written by the world's foremost Boreal Owl experts and chock full of interesting information ... is literally 'worth its weight in gold' ... It is highly recommended for every university library and for every keen owl student throughout the world.' C. Stuart Houston, The Canadian Field-Naturalist

Author Information

Erkki Korpimäki is Professor of Animal Ecology at the Department of Biology, University of Turku, Finland. His long-term research questions have focused on how predators are adapted to the large spatio-temporal fluctuations in their main prey densities, the apparent impacts of predators on prey populations and the effects of human-induced changes in the environment on viability of populations. Harri Hakkarainen is Adjunct Professor of Animal Ecology at the Department of Biology, University of Turku, Finland. His main fields of research have included landscape ecology, environmental ecology, life-history and demography, habitat and diet selection, sexual selection and dispersal of individuals.
