商品描述

The Eagle Owl is one of the largest owls in the world, and is considered the most eclectic in terms of habitat, nest site and diet. An undisputed top predator, it can prey on a range of mammals up to the size of a fox, and almost every species of bird, reptile, amphibian and fish, as well as a wide spectrum of invertebrates. Surprisingly, this owl can breed almost anywhere, the female laying her eggs on a variety of natural and artificial structures over an array of altitudes. Despite being so adaptable, however, it is still a vulnerable species, and has suffered widely from persecution as well as other threats including electrocution on power lines, decreasing prey availability, the effects of pesticides and pollutants, and habitat alteration.

Vincenzo Penteriani and Mar a del Mar Delgado have studied this fascinating bird extensively across its vast Eurasian range. In this book, they detail its intriguing ecology, covering distribution, foraging and breeding behavior, interspecific interactions, dispersal and conservation issues. The final two chapters provide a remarkable insight into vocal and visual communication. Scientists have long believed that owls and other crepuscular and nocturnal birds forgo the visual signals found in other avian species, but recent research on the Eagle Owl has suggested otherwise.

Bringing together more than 30 years of research, The Eagle Owl tells a story rich in detail of one of the most thrilling and magnificent birds in the world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

獵鵰是世界上最大的貓頭鷹之一，並且在棲息地、巢穴位置和飲食方面被認為是最具多樣性的。作為無可爭議的頂級掠食者，它可以捕食多達狐狸大小的各種哺乳動物，以及幾乎所有種類的鳥類、爬行動物、兩棲動物和魚類，還有各種無脊椎動物。令人驚訝的是，這種貓頭鷹幾乎可以在任何地方繁殖，雌性會在各種自然和人工結構上產卵，涵蓋不同的海拔高度。儘管如此適應性強，它仍然是一種脆弱的物種，並且因為受到迫害以及其他威脅而受到廣泛影響，包括在電力線上觸電、獵物可用性減少、農藥和污染物的影響，以及棲息地的改變。

Vincenzo Penteriani 和 María del Mar Delgado 在其廣泛的歐亞分佈範圍內對這種迷人的鳥類進行了廣泛的研究。在這本書中，他們詳細介紹了其引人入勝的生態學，涵蓋了分佈、覓食和繁殖行為、種間互動、擴散和保護問題。最後兩章提供了對聲音和視覺溝通的卓越見解。科學家們長期以來一直認為貓頭鷹和其他黃昏及夜行性鳥類放棄了其他鳥類物種中存在的視覺信號，但最近對獵鵰的研究顯示情況並非如此。

結合了超過30年的研究，《獵鵰》講述了一個充滿細節的故事，關於世界上最令人興奮和壯麗的鳥類之一。

作者簡介

Vincenzo Penteriani and María del Mar Delgado have been researching the ecology and population dynamics of the Eagle Owl in Italy, France, Spain and southern Finland for more than 30 years.

Vincenzo Penteriani first seriously studied Eagle Owls in Provence, during his PhD. He worked at the Doñana Biological Station (EBD) for nearly 20 years, during which time he and María del Mar Delgado studied the species in south-western Spain and southern Finland (at which time Vincenzo was working at the Finnish Museum of Natural History in Helsinki). Vincenzo is now a researcher with the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (IPE) - part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) - and is currently based at the Research Unit of Biodiversity (UMIB), where he is working on Brown Bears in the Cantabrian Mountains.

María del Mar Delgado did her PhD on the Eagle Owl at EBD, and has since spent several years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. She is currently based at UMIB, where she is undertaking research on snowfinches.

文森佐·彭特里亞尼（Vincenzo Penteriani）和瑪麗亞·德爾馬爾·德爾加多（María del Mar Delgado）在意大利、法國、西班牙和南芬蘭研究鷹鴞的生態學和種群動態已超過30年。

文森佐·彭特里亞尼在普羅旺斯首次認真研究鷹鴞，當時正在攻讀博士學位。他在多納納生物站（Doñana Biological Station, EBD）工作了近20年，在此期間，他和瑪麗亞·德爾馬爾·德爾加多在西南西班牙和南芬蘭研究該物種（當時文森佐在赫爾辛基的芬蘭自然歷史博物館工作）。文森佐目前是比利牛斯生態研究所（Pyrenean Institute of Ecology, IPE）的研究員，該所隸屬於西班牙國家研究委員會（CSIC），目前在生物多樣性研究單位（Research Unit of Biodiversity, UMIB）工作，研究坎塔布里亞山脈的棕熊。

瑪麗亞·德爾馬爾·德爾加多在EBD攻讀鷹鴞的博士學位，之後在赫爾辛基大學擔任了幾年的博士後研究員。她目前在UMIB工作，進行雪雀的研究。
