1 de oct. de 2010 · In Britain, Lack (1959, 1960a, 1962, 1963a, 1963b) pioneered the use of radar to track migration across the North Sea, whilst Eastwood (1967) later worked at the Bushy Hill experimental radar ...
David Lack's classic work on the finches of the Galapagos Islands (Darwin's Finches) was first published in 1947; few books have had such a great impact on evolutionary biology, indeed it is still one of the most succinct and fascinating treatises ever written about the origin of new species. The 1947 version is reproduced with facsimile pages ...
1 de oct. de 2010 · The use of radar to detect ships and aircraft became a key part of Britain's defence in the early part of the Second World War, but not all echoes were those of operational targets. David Lack, of the Army Operational Research Group, showed that many unexplained echoes came from flying birds, despite critics at the time. Careful observation combined with experiments provided observers with ...
BY DAVID LACK, Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology, Oxford i. INTRODUCTION This paper is purely introductory and speculative. Its object is to draw attention to an unexplored field problem in mammals in which the writer became interested through his parallel studies on clutch-size in birds (Lack, I947, I948). Within certain limits,
15 de dic. de 2009 · Elton is considered the father of animal ecology, and of those he influenced, David Lack (see Figure 4) played a pivotal role in the modernization of ornithology. In the 1930s, Lack wrote (with his father) a critical review of Howard's territory concept; made a detailed field study of the European robin Erithacus rubecula and, in 1938–1939, conducted a landmark study of Galapagos finches.
David Lack. Unicorn, 2018 - Nature - 274 pages. First published in 1956, Swifts in a Tower still offers astonishing insights into the private lives of swifts, their lifestyles, and the environment they inhabit. Now more than sixty years later, swifts have been studied even more thoroughly, using technology unimaginable in the 1950s.
David Lambert Lack FRS (16 July 1910 – 12 March 1973) was a British evolutionary biologist who made contributions to ornithology, ecology, and ethology. His 1947 book, Darwin's Finches, on the finches of the Galapagos Islands was a landmark work as were his other popular science books on Life of the Robin and Swifts in a Tower. He developed what is now known as Lack's Principle which ...
