Content: This last volume of Arian Biology brings to a close a classic series which has done so much to consolidate and inspire recent advances in the study of birds. In the tradition of earlier volumes, Avian Biology Volume 9 comprises three papers summarising subjects of central importance to ornithology. Alan Brush looks at the feather, its structure, growth and evolutionary origin focussing particularly on the molecular level of organisation. Hans-Georg Hartwig discusses the structure and function of the avian brain and spinal cord. Birds and mammals show the highest level of nervous system development in the animal kingdom. Despite their very different evolutionary history, recent research shows remarkable similarities in their CNS structure. Lastly, John Wingfield and Donald Farner present a wide ranging review of the endocrine system of birds, particularly by reference to field studies on wild birds and the effects of hormones on general and reproductive behaviour, migration, moult and stress responses. These three comprehensive contributions are a fitting close to this most influential and well respected series. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
