Synopsis "The Root of the Antilles: A History of the Todidae Family (in English)"
The history of the Todidae family is the principal theme of this book. When we consider their beauty, their antiquity and, above all, their tiny size, we find the todies to be the most fabulous birds of the Caribbean region. These birds constitute a very special family in the world of ornithology, with their unique genus: Todus. Their most notable characteristic, for many, is their restriction to the Greater Antilles. Their origin in the Caribbean is an enigma, yet various historical elements have helped to decipher their origin using paleozoology, phylogenetics and studying their reproductive biology. Nevertheless, further discoveries on the genus Todus await investigators. The book you hold on your hands was stimulated by the challenges and mysteries mentioned above.
