The amphibians and reptiles of Luzon Island, Philippines, VIII: the herpetofauna of Cagayan and Isabela Provinces, northern Sierra Madre Mountain Range
Long celebrated for its more than 7,100 islands, the Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia that shares only with Madagascar the distinction of having been designated as both a Megadiverse Nation and a Global Biodiversity Conservation Hotspot. The terrestrial vertebrate fauna of the northeastern Philippines, specifically Luzon Island, has been the subject of intense interest since the first historical explorations. Historically, numerous works considered the biodiversity of Luzon as ?depauperate? in the sense that they was presumed to contain a reduced number of species shared with a continental mainland source. This view has persisted until recently, when a renewed interest in faunistic...

The Wingsnappers
Birds, hormones, and extraordinary behavior: The story of the tiny but mighty golden-collared manakin of Panama This book is the story of a remarkable bird, the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) of Panama. Males of this species perform one of the most elaborate, physically complex, and noisy courtship displays of any animal on the planet. Barney A. Schlinger delves into the specialized neurons, muscles, bones, and hormonal systems underlying the manakin's unique courtship behavior, creating a rich life-history account that integrates field observations and evolutionary biology with behavioral ecology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and general ornithology. The personal lives of investigators and the natural history of the Panamanian rainforest provide context for this account of the bird's fascinating behavior. Schlinger clearly and approachably explains basic concepts in disciplines such as avian anatomy, endocrinology, sexual differentiation, and the neurobiology of song and aeroacoustics, offering readers a window into the biology of this exuberant bird.
암컷들
“암컷에 대한 선입견을 우아한 분노로 부숴버린다”_《옵서버》 스승인 도킨스를 뛰어넘는 대담한 서사! 암컷과 성, 그리고 진화에 관한 혁명적 안내서 진화론의 바이블 『이기적 유전자』에는 이렇게 쓰여 있다. “암컷은 착취당하는 성이며, 진화의 근본적인 차이는 난자와 정자에서 시작된다.” 여성은 조신하고 신중하게 모성으로 알을 품으며, 이를 차지하기 위해 경쟁하는 남성이 진화를 이끈다는 의미다. 그러나 리처드 도킨스의 제자이자 영국을 대표하는 자연사 다큐멘터리 제작자 루시 쿡(Lucy Cooke)은 이렇게 묻는다. ...
