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. .Behavioral sciencesAnimal ecologyAnimalsClassificationAnimalsClassificationEvolution (Biology)Behavioral Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009Animal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Animal Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L2504XEvolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Behavioral sciences.Animal ecology.AnimalsAnimalsEvolution (Biology)Behavioral Sciences.Animal Ecology.Animal Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.Evolutionary Biology.598.2525598.2525Reboreda Juan Carlosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFiorini Vanina Dafneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTuero Diego Tomásedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337943503321Behavioral Ecology of Neotropical Birds1995442UNINA
