Bird nests and construction behaviour / Hansell, Michael H. (2000)  

Public ISBD Titre : Bird nests and construction behaviour Type de document : livre Auteurs : Hansell, Michael H. Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2000 Importance : 280 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-46038-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behavior  Birds  Design and construction  Nests Résumé : Bird Nests and Construction Behaviour provides a broad view of our current understanding of the biology of the nests, bowers and tools made by birds. It illustrates how, among vertebrates, the building abilities of birds are more impressive and consistent than for any other builders other than ourselves, yet birds seem to require no special equipment, and use quite uncomplicated behaviour. In doing so, the book raises general issues in the field of behavioural ecology including the costs of reproduction, sexual selection and the organisation and complexity of behaviour. Written for students and researchers of animal behaviour, behavioural ecology and ornithology, it will nevertheless make fascinating reading for architects and engineers interested in understanding how structures are created by animals.
