N2  - The main theme of this book is to illustrate how and why tropical birds are so different from temperate zone birds. The book's purpose is to dispel the temperate zone biologist's ignorance of tropical birdology and to stimulate more research on tropical birds." "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."--Jacket
