Summary: How birds produce the brilliant and striking coloration of their feathers and other body parts is the focus of this first volume of "Bird Coloration. It has been more than 40 years since the mechanisms of color production of birds have been reviewed and synthesized. Geoffrey Hill and Kevin McGraw have assembled the world's leading experts in perception, measurement, and control of bird coloration to contribute to this book. This sumptuously illustrated volume synthesizes more than 1,500 technical papers in this field. |
