Evolutionary and Biomechanical Basis of Drumming Behavior in Woodpeckers
Understanding how and why behavioral traits diversify during the course of evolution is a longstanding goal of organismal biologists. Historically, this topic is examined from an ecological perspective, where behavioral evolution is thought to occur in response to selection pressures that arise thro...
