Review
"This original and valuable book will help to broaden the understanding of avian ecology throughout the world."
D. Flaspohler, Michigan Technical University, in CHOICE (January 2002)
"This is a stimulating book and a rich source of research ideas written at a level suitable for undergraduates..."
-Jeremy Lindsell in IBIS (2001)
"The principal strength of this book is the authors' breadth of experience, which provides credibility to their claims. ...I recommend
Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds to budding behavioral ecologists who are on the prowl for research topics that may alter the directions of the field, and to ecologists in the temperate zone who wonder why their colleagues go to the bother and expense of mounting behavioral research projects in the tropics."
-Tom A. Langen, Clarkson University, in ECOLOGY (November 2001)
Product Description
This book examines behavioral adaptations of tropical birds in timing of breeding, life history traits, mating systems and parental care, territoriality, communication, and biotic interactions, and emphasizes the many gaps in our knowledge of tropical birds. We urge students and researchers in temperate and tropical regions alike to realize the potential they have for improving our knowledge of avian adaptations far beyond what is currently accepted as gospel. Time is running out.
