B/w photographs and illustrations, charts, tables, maps, extensive bibliography. Grey boards, spine titled in gilt. Very good in dust-wrapper. "The Ruff is a fascinating species whose el…aborate breeding behaviour has captivated ornithologists for decades. Their communal display grounds, or Leks, provide an extreme example of a social system widespread in birds and other animals, in which brilliantly plumaged males seemingly compete for the attention of passing females. In this book, Johan van Rhijn explores this complex and intricate drama, both to lay bare the details of the players' private lives, and to provide a means of exploring the wider variety of wader breeding systems. Strands of evidence for all aspects of the Ruff's life, in and out of the breeding season, come together to give a thought-provoking insight into this important area of biology. Specialists and bird-watchers alike will have much to learn from this intriguing story and the insights it provides." Chapters include: The lek site; Territories; Satellite males; Marginal males; Plumage diversity; Females on leks; Mating; Alternative male strategies; Breeding habitat; Parental care; Development of the chicks; Distribution; Diet and foraging; Moult; Migration; Costs and time-schedules; Do females nest near the leks which they visit?; Taxonomic relationships; Courtship and mating pattern; Variation in size and plumage; The ancestors and their contrasting social lives. .

Add to basketxii, 209pp., b/w illustrations by Ian Walllis, 41 figures and 24 tables to text, orig. cloth gilt. A fine clean copy in a fine clean pictorial dustwrapper. From the library of C. Douglas Deane. (C. Douglas Deane was the Deputy Director and the Keeper of Natural Science in the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He served… in the Royal Air Force during the war. He also was a member of various Government committees and other organisations relating to the natural history of Ulster and wrote regular articles in the Irish Times, Belfast Telegraph and the Belfast News Letter (Deane, 1983). He joined the staff of the Museum and retired after almost forty-five years. He specialised in birds and mammals of Ireland. He was a founder member of the Ulster Society for the Protection of Birds (later RSPB) and had a keen interest in the local history and naturalists. He received an honoury degree of Master of Science from the Queen's University of Belfast in 1974. He retired in 1977 and was presented with an O.B.E. on the Her Majesty's visit to Northern Ireland). The ruff is a species of bird whose elaborate breeding behaviour has fascinated ornithologists for decades. Their communal display ground, or leks, provide an extreme example of a social system widespread in birds and other animals, in which brilliantly plumaged males seemingly compete for the attention of passing females. In this book, Johan van Rhijn explores this complex and intricate behavioural pattern, both to lay bare the details of the players private lives, and to provide a means of exploring the wider variety of wader breeding systems. Strands of evidence for all aspects of the ruff's life, in and out of the breeding season, come together to give an insight into this important area of biology. Specialists and birdwatchers alike will find this text of interest.
