In Memoriam: Rudolf Herman Drent, 1937-2008

摘要

Drent's research interests went well beyond goose studies, and with time members of his group investigated waterbird and shorebird foraging and distributional ecology, shorebird breeding and migration energetics, and songbird population biology. All this time, Drent remained modest, inviting foreign visitors and students to his home where he and his wife provided a warm welcome and a perfect ambiance for discussion of work and other matters.
