Snowbird : integrative biology and evolutionary diversity in the junco /

Placing special emphasis on the important role that underlying physiological, hormonal, and behavioural mechanisms play in these processes, 'Snowbird' not only provides a definitive exploration of the junco's evolutionary history and behavioural and physiological diversity but also un...
