Territory in Bird Life | Nature


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT ON the publication of his “British Warblers ” (1907-14) Mr. H. Eliot Howard took rank as a naturalist of marked ability, as an observer who could be trusted, and as an interpreter


well trained in scientific method, fertile in suggestion, cautious in application, and, above all, insistent on the importance of keeping in close touch with the evidence afforded by patient


and systematic field-work. A salient outcome of his monograph was a re-grouping of the phenomena presented by birds in their breeding haunts around a concept of “territory.” He has now


marshalled the evidence in favour of this hypothesis in a work which neither the biologist nor the comparative psychologist can afford to neglect. Territory in Bird Life. By H. Eliot Howard.
