Книга: Yu-hung Lin and Hsueh-Wen Chang «Nest recognition of two terns»
|
Производитель: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing" Terns usually will aggregate in the same reproduction area during breeding season. The color pattern of eggs may match the background, and it is important for breeding adults to distinguish their own eggs, especially in colonies with high density. This research was carried out at Penghu of Taiwan. In conclusion, terns have low ability of egg recognition but high ability of nest recognition. Terns presumably can recognize nests with the nearby environmental landmarks, but not be able to recognize eggs. ISBN:9783846509838 Издательство: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing" (2011)
