"Biology of Passerine Birds" aims to provide a synthesis of the most recent developments in its field, especially in the framework of modern life history theories. Major topics include quantitative genetics, ecological physiology, the study of social structures using individually marked birds in the wild, and finally biometry, which attempts to quantify such important parameters as survival at different ages of life and the overall demography of the populations.
