References for seminar on wildlife management in
rice fields
This list of references includes the main papers
relating to North American rice/wildlife research that I covered in my
seminar. The book chapter by Eadie et
al. is intended to be a complete review of all that is known about wildlife in
rice fields. The chapter is essentially
finished and hopefully the book will come out soon (the timing of the release
is out of our control!). If you want
more information about birds in rice fields let me know and I’ll try to help.
