An exception to this maybe the Double-banded Courser . in southern Africa, since it breeds throughout the year, regardless of environmental conditions (Maclean 1967b). “Every species is apparently adjusted to breed at the time of year at which it can raise its young most efficiently” (Immelmann 1971).

My response to John‘s invitation to write Ecophysiology of Desert Birds was much the same, and for the same reasons. However, with his encouragement and, taking account o
