Because male and female redwings make different, and often independent, decisions-males focus on territory acquisition and maintenance, while females must choose when and where to nest and how much energy to invest in reproduction-the authors have taken the novel approach of studying the sexes separately.Using analyses of observational data combined with field experiments and game-theoretical models, the authors provide new insights into the complex patterns of reproductive decision-making and breeding behavior in redwings. This book will be of interest to all who study social animals, including behavioral ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and ornithologists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916342165792,"sku":"NEW0226041875","price":101.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/red-winged-blackbirds-decision-making-and-reproductive-success-0226041875","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
