A pale, medium-sized gull with a 'gentle' expression and bright yellow bill, the Kittiwake has been the subject of behavioural research since the late 1950s - one of the longest running studies in the world. In this Poyser Monograph, John Coulson summarises these decades of research, revealing amazing insights into the life of these gulls, with wider implications for the behavioural ecology of all colonial birds. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Kittiwakes.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85072590 650 7 Kittiwakes.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1430638 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Greenhalf, Robert.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb99085770 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCoulson, John C.|tKittiwake.|dLondon : A & C Black, ©2011 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=393540|zOnline eBook.
