The Cini Canary (Serinus serinus Linnaeus 1766) and its cousins, the African and European canaries. Marcel RUELLE

Marcel RUELLE’s latest book on canaries.

It is always a great pleasure for me to discover a new monograph by Marcel RUELLE. Year after year, his books follow one another with the same precision, the same scientific rigour, the same care, and the same attention to detail and research. The amount of work involved in producing such books is considerable; the time spent consulting, sifting through and selecting all the literature – in whatever language – devoted to a single species is phenomenal. This latest monograph, devoted to the Cini’s Serin, has been written with the same passion, but also with great personal sacrifice, and it certainly deserves special recognition from us. Like its predecessors, it enables readers to discover or rediscover certain writings by renowned ornithologists, recognised scientists or passionate amateurs. All topics are covered, forming a comprehensive 365-page volume featuring appropriate and well-executed illustrations. The technical details are as follows:

THE NINTH MONOGRAPH OF THE ROYAL WALLOON ORNITHOLOGICAL FEDERATION: the Cini Serin (Serinus serinus Linnaeus 1766) and its cousins, the African, European and Asian serins, formerly classified under the genera or subgenera Crithagra, Poliospiza, Dendrospiza and Ochrospiza.
