Produktbeschreibung

Dove Facts offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of doves, examining their biology, cultural significance, and ecological roles. This book delves into why doves have been perceived as symbols of peace and hope across cultures for millennia.
Intriguingly, doves possess remarkable homing abilities, navigating vast distances using a combination of magnetic reception, celestial navigation, and olfactory cues. The book also highlights how their gentle nature is supported by physiological adaptations, including unique vocalizations that strengthen social bonds within flocks.

The book progresses from exploring the biology of doves to their historical and cultural importance, and finally to their ecological role and conservation. Specific examples include the dove's representation of the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography, and its use in secular contexts to advocate for peace.
The book emphasizes the importance of seed dispersal and nutrient cycling by doves in various ecosystems, while also addressing the threats they face due to habitat loss and climate change.

Dove Facts integrates insights from ornithology, cultural anthropology, and environmental science, making it valuable for bird enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in nature and life sciences.
