Item description from seller

[0-19-854860-5] 1996. (Hardcover) Fine, no dust jacket. 420pp. Tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, notes, indices. "The idea for this book arose from an attempt to comprehend the evolution and maintenance of long-term monogamy in geese and swans, species in which mates maintain contact all day, each season, often for life. Somehow these pair members stay together in large foraging flocks and during gruelling migrations. The stimulus behind the book was sheer intrigue about the possible link between the partners' team work and reproductive performance and why this lifestyle varies across species" - from the 1995 Preface by Jeffrey Black. Book about Monogamy. Contributors include Frank Adriaensen, Russell P. Balda, T. R. Birkhead, Stuart Bradley, Sharmila Choudhury, Andre Desrochers, Andre A. Dhondt, Steven D. Emslie, Bruno J. Ens, John W. Fitzpatrick, Patricia Adair Gowaty, Susan Hannon, Pia Lievesley, Frank McKinney, Elizabeth B. McLaren. Illustrations by Mark Hulme. Publisher series: Oxford Ornithology Series 6. (Natural History, Birds, Essays, Migration, Natural History, Ornithology, Wildlife).
