| Meer info | The Megapodes (family Megapodiidae) are an ancient and remarkable group of birds that occur only in the broader Australasian region, the islands of Indonesia east of the Wallace Line and in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Twenty-two species of mound-builders exists within the Megapode family, three of which occur in Australia: the Scrubfowl in the humid tropics; the Brush turkey in dense forested areas from Cape York to Sydney; and most remarkable of all, the Malleefowl in the arid interior. Mound-builders are unique in being the only birds that do not incubate their eggs using body heat but rather exploit a variety of naturally occurring sources of heat such as solar energy, geothermal and, most commonly, the heat generated by decomposing organic matter. This book shows how this remarkable adaptation influences every part of these birds' lives, including the development of the embryo, the parentless life of the hatchlings, their social organization and their survival. Scientific interest in these birds has increased significantly in recent decades, and Mound-Builders summarizes many significant discoveries with a strong emphasis on conservation and changing interactions between mound-builders and people. Much of this research has been focussed on the three Australian species which provide greatly contrasting approaches to surviving in different parts of the continent. With 8 pages of colour photos showing various aspects of these 3 species, several text-figures, maps and diagrams. Format: 24x17 cm. Weight: 322 gr. |
