Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: This handbook is a compilation of data on body masses for 6283 species of birds, and is intended to alleviate the difficulty with which avian masses can be found. The handbook includes the largest and most complete sample of body masses located for each species from published or unpublished sources. Taxonomy and sequence of the handbook follow the fifth edition of Clements' (1991) checklist of birds of the world. |
