In this scholarly study Walter shows how the unique geographical and biological situation of Falco eleonorae, i.e. Eleonora's Falcon, makes the species' health an important indicator of environmental decay. He concentrates on the species' intraspecific behavior and ecology--such as the falcons' aggressive actions, hunting strategies, and response to fluctuating environmental conditions--and investigates their evolutionary past ; Wildlife Behavior and Ecology; B&W Photographs and Illustrations; 8vo; [i-vi] vii-ix [x] xi-xiii [xiv], 410 pages; FSA.
