Explore the immediate physiological and long-term evolutionary reasons behind vocalizations in male blue-cheeked bee-eaters, highlighting behavior mechanisms and brain complexity.
E N D
Chapter 10 Opener There are both immediate physiological and long-term evolutionary causes for why this male blue-cheeked bee-eater produces vocalizations when communicating with other bee-eaters
