Abstract
The development of races and eventually species of birds is usually closely associated with adaptation of populations to their respective environments through natural selection. It has been demonstrated many times that one race of birds will not survive when transplanted to the range of another race. Many costly failures have resulted from failure to recognize this principle. Closer cooperation between wildlife managers and taxonomists in the future is indicated.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
