Overview
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.

About the Author
Vanina Fiorini received her bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Sciences from the Univeristy of Buenos Aires. Her postdoc focused on invasive bird species in Argentina. In 2010 she became a CONICET researcher and continued studying the co-evolutionary relationships between parasitic cowbirds Molothrus spp. and their hosts, focusing on their co-adaptations, ecology and behavior. Vanina has published more than 20 papers, most of them in high impact behavioral ecology journals. She is a member of the Asociación Ornitológica del Plata. In recent years Vanina has served as reviewer for different scientific journals as Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology and the Journal of Avian Biology.
Diego Tuero received his bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Science from the University of Buenos Aires. During his postdoc Diego continued his studies in behavioral ecology, evaluating the evolution of avian tails under sexual selection processes and migratory behavior in austral migrants. In 2014, he became a CONICET research fellow, studying adaptations of brood parasite species, migration in neotropical bird species, and avian traits under sexual selection pressure. He has published more than 15 research articles, was advisor of under-graduated and graduated students, and served as reviewer for behavioral and ornithological journals. He is a member of the Asociación Ornitológica del Plata and the International Society for Behavioral Ecology.
