Proceedings of International Ornithological Congresses

The International Ornithological Union traditionally publishes ‘Proceedings’ which comprise the papers from Presidential addresses, plenary lectures and symposia at International Ornithological Congresses, and associated secretarial, committee and working group reports. The plenaries and symposia present land-mark reviews of advances in all fields of ornithological science. Listed below is a record of the Proceedings that have been published from past congresses:
