Monograph: Relationships
Among Body Mass, Fat, Wing Length, Age, and Sex
for 170 Species of Birds Banded at Powdermill Nature Reserve
The Eastern Bird Banding Association announces the
publication of its first Monograph
This monograph summarizes and uses statistical analyses of large amounts
of biological data on North American species of birds and is specifically
designed to foster their use by other researchers. Hopefully, it will serve
the needs of many researchers and encourage others who possess similar data
to summarize and analyze them. (Funding was provided by the Eastern Bird
Banding Association; additional funding by the Carnegie Museum of
Natural History.)
