Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The subsection Morphological Aspects discusses tongue morphology in some detail and covers structure and function of the digestive tract, sexual dimorphism in plumage characteristics such as pectoral tufts and tail length, and several other topics. The Handbook represents an invaluable resource to anyone with more than a passing interest in the world's birds and must rank as one of the most significant ornithological publications of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.--ANDREW E.
