How Birds Evolve: What Science Reveals about Their Origin, Lives, and Diversity

Birds are literally the evolved form of dinosaurs, but how did they get from the former to the latter? Author Douglas Futuyma covers the evolutionary science that made this transformation, including topics like the origin of species, bird diversity, avian reproductive behaviors, plumage ornaments, and social behaviors. Futuyma reveals the histories of birds and the variety of avian parenting styles, mating displays, and cooperative behaviors.
