Studies in Avian Biology is a series of works started and published by the Cooper Ornithological Society in 1978 and now published in collaboration and on behalf of the American Ornithological Society. Volumes in the series address current topics in ornithology and can be organized as monographs or multi-authored collections of chapters. Authors are invited to contact the series editor to discuss project proposals and guidelines for preparation of manuscripts.
Color pages were planned and approved for some pages in volume 52, The Population Ecology and Conservation of Charadrius Plovers (9781498755825), edited by Colwell & Haig in the Studies in Avian Biology series, but due to a printing error some copies have incorrectly been released with these pages printed in black and white. Replacement copies with the correct color in place can be obtained upon request by contacting [email protected] CRC Press extends apologies to any customers affected by this error and for the inconvenience caused.
