«The Megapodes» is the scientific monograph by Darryl N. Jones, René W. R. J. Dekker and Cees S. Roselaar, published by Oxford University Press in hardback.
The work examines the 22 species of megapodes, birds of Australasia and the southwestern Pacific that incubate their eggs with external heat, not body heat. It analyses their taxonomy, distribution, biology and behaviour, and devotes to each species a full account with description, habitat, feeding, reproduction and sonograms where available.
Third volume of the Bird Families of the World series, published in 1995 by Oxford University Press, with 262 pages in English and illustrations by Ber van Perlo.
Aimed at ornithologists, biology students and birdwatching enthusiasts interested in a singular family.
