Monograph

Monograph: Relationships Among Body Mass, Fat, Wing Length, Age, and Sex for 170 Species of Birds Banded at Powdermill Nature Reserve

The Eastern Bird Banding Association announces the publication of its first Monograph

This monograph summarizes and uses statistical analyses of large amounts of biological data on North American species of birds and is specifically designed to foster their use by other researchers. Hopefully, it will serve the needs of many researchers and encourage others who possess similar data to summarize and analyze them. (Funding was provided by the Eastern Bird Banding Association; additional funding  by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.)
