The Analysis of Owl Pellets Owls feed mainly on small mammals, swallowing their prey whole. The indigestible parts are regurgitated by the owl in the form of compact pellets which contain mammal skulls, bones and teeth, and invertebrate remains. Analysis of these pellets can be used to learn not only what the owl has eaten, but which small mammal species are present in the locality. Owl pellets are particularly useful for detecting the presence of less common species such as water shrew, dormouse and harvest mouse. This book describes how to dissect pellets, identification of skulls and other bones, estimating size and weight of prey, and gives examples of pellet analyses showing what can be learned from them.

Bat Ecology An up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative review of the ongoing research into bat ecology, by world-renowned bat scholars. Bats play key roles in many ecosystems as insect predators, seed dispersers, and pollinators. They also display astonishing ecological and evolutionary diversity and serve as important models for studies of a wide variety of topics such as food webs, biogeography, and emerging diseases. The first part of the book covers the life history and behavioural ecology of bats, from migration to sperm competition and natural selection. The next section focuses on functional ecology, including ecomorphology, feeding, and physiology. In the third section, contributors explore macroecological issues such as the evolution of ecological diversity, range size, and infectious diseases (including rabies) in bats. A final chapter discusses conservation challenges facing these fascinating flying mammals. A comprehensive state-of-the-field reference for scientists and researchers. Contributors: John D Altringham, Robert M R Barclay, Tneley M Conway, Elizabeth R Dumont, Peggy Eby, Abigail C Entwistle, M Brock Fenton, Theodore H Fleming, Patricia W Freeman, Lawrence D Harder, Gareth Jones, Thomas H Kunz, Linda F Lumsden, Gary F McCracken, Sharon L Messenger, Bruce D Pattterson, Paul A Racey, Jens Rydell, Charles E Rupprecht, Nancy B Simmons, Jean S Smith, John R Speakman, Richard D Stevens, Elizabeth F Stockwell, Sharon M Swartz, donald W Thomas, Otto von Helversen, Gerald S Wilkinson, Michael R Willig, York Winter. "Humour lightens the technical style... Just about every bat lover will find something to interest and surprise them, while the more general reader will find a rich vein of information that may be mined with pleasure... This book should help Western society to catch up and at least regard bats as truly admirable creatures" - Rebecca Shapley, New Scientist

Making Wildlflower Meadows If only a tiny patch of each garden were converted into a wildflower meadow, we would ensure the survival of many plants and animals currently threatened with extinction due to modern agricultural practices. Gardener and conservationist Pam Lewis, whose own garden at Sticky Wicket in Dorset has been much featured in the media, specialises in the making and management of wildflower. In this rewarding book she distils her 20 years' experience into an informative and readable text, giving tried and tested practical advice alongside accounts of her experiences in creating and maintaining these valuable habitats. Pam lovingly and entertainingly describes the creation and maintenance of several very different meadows created at Sticky Wicket - a restored meadow; a meadow made as a home for displaced local wildflowers; wet and dry flowering lawns; a tiny mini-meadow; and a garden meadow where a mixture of wildflowers and naturalised garden plants grows in loamy grassland. This excellent book provides a great deal of useful, practical information, and shows just how many different ways there can be of growing wild flowers, in addition to being a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone charmed by the traditional wildflower meadow.
