For one thing, we become more aware of cultural biases in our science (new findings on warbling female birds, for example, reveal both gender and geographic biases). Many popular science books have neither. As Ackerman explains in her Introduction, studying extreme behavior brings new insight into what we think we know.

Bird communication is a complex and evolving science. Knowing that female birds sing presents a challenge to signaling theory, in which it’s assumed that male songbirds send the signal and female songbirds receive it. Bird communication is much broader than just vocalization, something I tend to forget. And, that’s it.
