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.
Audience
Professional ornithologists, conservation biologists, researchers in tropical bird ecology, and students in tropical bird ecology. May
also be of interest to amateur bird enthusiasts and visitors to tropics.
