Product Description
Stephen Pruett-Jones in Science
"I think that David Lack would applaud the contributions that Bennett & Owens have made."
Review
This book is a very good introduction to the field, laced with lots of attractive research ideas. (African Zoology )
I strongly recommend Evolutionary Ecology of Birds to anyone who is interested in a comparative approach to evolutionary ecology. This book, like Lack's, is an exemplar for how to systematically form and test hypotheses using comparative data. As happened after the publiscation of Lack's book, I anticipate a rash of studies that revisit or expand upon the authors' results. (Tom Langen in Ecology (2002) )
The tradition embodies by Lack is enhanced here by the insights that new approaches can generate. (David Westneat in Trends in Ecology and Evolution )
... it provides a useful overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the comparative method, and it certainly stimulates thinking about how we can learn more about variation in avian life histories and mating systems. (Nature )
The authors have written a wonderfully stimulating book which, like Lack's original, is a landmark in bird biology and should be read by all ornithologists. (Tim Birkhead in IBIS )
