Beschreibung
This book covers central aspects of behavioral ecology, including sexual selection, social and genetic mating systems, cooperative breeding, brood parasitism, brood reduction, migration, personalities and communication. Over the past several years, Neotropical bird species from temperate to tropical latitudes of South America have been extensively studied, yielding valuable insights into the evolutionary mechanisms that drive their behavioral traits.
In this book, international experts provide a general overview of main behavioral aspects. They also present the main findings of their work, including experimental approaches to testing the most accepted behavioral theory in their model systems. In closing, they propose new theoretical frameworks and future research directions. As such, the book provides a comprehensive and updated guide for all researchers, students and professionals whose work involves the study and management of birds across the Neotropical region.
Includes a comprehensive and updated guide to the main aspects of Neotropical birds’ behavioural ecology The authors of each chapter are specialists in their field. They present the main findings of their studies, which form a complete portrait of the topic Covers a wide range of systematic groups of Neotropical bird species

“The present book adds new information on South American species and provides wider and sometimes contrasting interpretations of several topics. It therefore represents a useful complement to the earlier volume, and should be of wide interest to students of behavioral ecology.” (F. Gary Stiles, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 95 (3), 2020)
