Manakins, who are they?

The fascination of people for birds is increasing with each passing day ... Today thousands of people use bird watching as a hobby, seeking to relax in the midst of nature and at the same time exercising the perception of colors, morphology and behavior of bird species that can co-inhabit the same ecosystems as our species. However, when talking about birds that dance to attract females this subject becomes even more interesting !!! The manakins are neotropical birds in which males contest the females incessantly and for this they exhibit themselves in colors, shapes, and spectacular dances!

Do you know that there a group that study specifically these birds? Yes, researchers have been studying these birds, from genomic, physiological, behavioral and ecological principles! See more information at:
