Description:
This monograph examines the taxonomy, appearance, behaviour, ecology and conservation of all four species of the tundra plovers - the three golden species (Eurasian, Pacific and American) and the Grey plover - and contrasts their natural history and biogeography. There are detailed accounts on all aspects of lifestyle including feeding, mating, parental care, moults, migrations, and avoidance of predation.
