Evolutionary Ecology of Birds: Life Histories, Mating systems, and Extinction - Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution
Bennett, Peter (, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, UK)
Birds show bewildering diversity in their life histories, mating systems and risk of extinction. Why, for example, are fairy-wrens so sexually promiscuous while swans show life long monogamy? This fascinating book is a comprehensive re-appraisal of avian diversity, and is the most extensive application of modern comparative methods yet undertaken.
