Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exhaustive and detailed exploration of the Tracheophoninae subfamily of Neotropical Passeriformes. The Tracheophoninae are distinctive for their unique alteration of the lower portion of the trachea, which forms an organ of voice that these birds use to produce song. The author describes the four families of these birds, all restricted to the New World: Dendrocolaptidae, Formicariidae, Conopophagidae, and Pteroptochidae. The rich tapestry of information within includes keys to the genera and species, as well as 531 figures illustrating the morphology of these birds. The author's insights are significant in expanding our knowledge of tracheophone evolution and the broader understanding of the relationships within these groups of birds, offering a rich resource for ornithologists and anyone interested in this fascinating group of birds.
