    The Canary: Natural History, Science and Cultural Significance covers the ecology, evolution, and conservation of the canary and related species, the history and cultural significance of the domestic canary worldwide, and the various scientific disciplines in which canaries have played a key role as a model species. This book synthesizes the multiple ways in which the canary and its relatives have been, and continue to be, an important scientific model in diverse areas and have influenced human culture.

    Each chapter is written by international experts in areas such as biogeography, animal behaviour, evolutionary ecology, conservation, neurobiology, genetics, or ethnology, and all are actively researching the canary or closely related species. In covering this eclectic array of topics, while always focusing on the canary and its close relatives, this book uses the immense appeal of the canary as a vehicle to present notions of ecology, evolution, biodiversity conservation, and so on, to a wide audience.

    The Canary: Natural History, Science and Cultural Significance is a vital resource for ornithologists, conservationists, and biodiversity researchers and practitioners.
