Description
This book is the first major work on the birds of Mount Nimba and surrounding lowlands rain-forests.
This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of information on the avifauna of Mount Nimba and its ecological setting. During the 20-year period of biological investigations at Nimba, this in 1962 intact area was gradually opened up by a man with far-reaching environmental consequences for ht rain-forest habitat and profound effects on the birds. Therefore, the book provides not only a source of reference material on the systematic physiology, ecology, and biology of the birds of Mount Nimba and the African rainforest but also data on biogeography in the African context as well as on conservation problems.
