Synopsis
Este volumen se centra en las primeras 9 familias del orden de los paseriformes, ofreciendo una exhaustiva exploración de 623 especies que habitan en el Neotrópico. Desde los coloridos habitantes de los bosques africanos y del sudeste asiático como los eurilaimos, filepitas y pitas, hasta la diversa gama de furnáridos, dendrocoláptidos, tamnofílidos, formicáridos, jejeneros y tapaculos que se encuentran predominantemente en los ambientes neotropicales, este libro es un tesoro para los entusiastas de la diversidad aviar tropical. Embárcate en un viaje a través de exuberantes bosques y paisajes selváticos mientras descubres detalles fascinantes sobre los comportamientos de nidificación de los horneros, la morfología del pico de los trepatroncos, las cautivadoras estrategias de caza de los formicáridos que persiguen hormigas, y el origen etimológico del intrigante nombre "tapaculos". Ya seas un observador de aves ávido o un curioso explorador de la biodiversidad, el Volumen 8 ofrece un rico tapiz de información, capturando la esencia de la vida aviar tropical con una profundidad y perspicacia sin igual. Incluye un prólogo sobre la historia de la clasificación de las aves escrito por Murray Bruce. · 81 láminas en color · 477 fotografías en color · 681 mapas de distribución · c. 4000 referencias bibliográficas
