The Web of Adaptation

Very Good used hardcover. Dust jacket has shelf wear and faded spine. "More than an account of the behavior, food, and reproduction of frugivorous birds, The Web of Adaptation is a thoughtful inquiry into the factors that have produced patterns of behavior that will appear strange to readers unfamiliar with tropical birds. This gracefully written and highly readable book contains much of interest to ecologists and evolutionists no less than to everyone desirous of broadening his or her view of the ways of life of the charming creatures that adorn our planet." -From the Foreward by Alexander F. Skutch
