Sommario/riassunto

The RAPID2021 workshop focused on a specific and contemporary research topic: detector technology and electronics for nuclear and particle physics experiments as well as applications. In the RAPID2021, we had invited lectures, overview talks and contributed presentations by the scientists and young researchers from all around the world. In this workshop the papers presented are on the new developments at different experiments (ALICE, CMS, ATLAS) at CERN, new micro-pattern gas detectors development by RD51 collaboration at CERN, development of silicon pixel sensors at CERN, detectors for FAIR facilities in Germany, low energy experiments at different facilities, new detector ideas for nuclear and particle physics experiments, developments in electronics to overcome the challenges for the future LHC experiments, and application of the detectors on medical imaging. The proceedings of the workshop are quite helpfulto document the new results, technologies, and developments by different groups and well known international laboratories like CERN, GSI, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The publication of the scientists and young researchers will definitely be the new references for future studies on the same direction.

Sommario/riassunto

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. .
