Bird song is one of the most remarkable and impressive sounds in
the natural world, and has inspired not only students of natural
history, but also great writers, poets and composers. Extensively
updated from the first edition, the main thrust of the book is to
suggest that the two main functions of song are attracting a mate
and defending territory. It shows how this evolutionary pressure
has led to the amazing variety and complexity we see in the songs
of different species throughout the world. Writing primarily for
students and researchers in animal behavior, the authors review
over 1000 scientific papers and reveal how scientists are beginning
to unravel and understand how and why birds communicate with the
elaborate vocalizations we call song. Highly illustrated throughout
and written in straightforward language, Bird Song also holds
appeal for amateur ornithologists with some knowledge of biology.
