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.
Vanina Fiorini received her bachelor's and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Sciences from the Univeristy of Buenos Aires. Her postdoc focused on invasive bird species in Argentina. In 2010 she became a CONICET researcher and continued studying the co-evolutionary relationships between parasitic cowbirds Molothrus spp. and their hosts, focusing on their co-adaptations, ecology and behavior. Vanina has published more than 20 papers, most of them in high impact behavioral ecology journals. She is a member of the Asociación Ornitológica del Plata. In recent years Vanina has served as reviewer for different scientific journals as Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology and the Journal of Avian Biology.
