Renowned naturalist and ornithologist first discovered cooperative breeding more than half a century ago. This is the aid that one bird gives another who is unrelated, and may even belong to a different species. This classic book describes the cooperative behavior of more than fifty families of birds. For this expanded edition, behaviorist Emlen credits Skutch’s passionate observations with promoting scientific interest in avian behavior. Emlen summarizes advances made in the past ten years.
