The Snow Geese of La Prouse Bay

This book brings together the results from one of the most significant long-term studies of birds in the late twentieth century, testing our understanding of evolution in natural populations. The heart of the book analyses the working of natural selection on Snow Goose plumage colour, seasonal timing of breeding, clutch size, egg size, and body size. Combining genetics, behaviour, ecology, and a landmark data set, it will be essential reading for everyone with an interest in evolutionary ecology.
