Review Quotes

As has been true in all previous volumes, the editing and writing of these chapters is excellent and the content remarkably good, particularly given the length of the series....As usual, these sources are a gold mine for researchers, graduate students, and teachers.' The Wilson Bulletin For researchers interested in plumage evolution, hatching asynchrony or any of the other topics reviewed, [Volume 12] will be obligatory reading. For others interested in learning about new fields, this is one of the best places to start.' Recent Ornithological Publications I do suggest that university libraries buy this useful series.'
