The Ecology of Vangas - Birds Endemic to Madagascar
Yamagishi's team have spent decades studying the ecological and social behavior of the rufous vangas, a unique Madagascan bird.
For a few decades, Yamagishi and his associates have studied the ecological and social behaviour of the rufous, a unique species of birds in Madagascar.
In this volume, the team summarises the findings of their long-term research, with specific observations about cooperative breeding, sex ratio manipulation, foraging and helping behaviour. The authors demonstrate the implications of the study for theories of evolution, genetic inheritance and group formation.
