In the skew Hopf bifurcation a quasi-periodic attractor with nontrivial normal linear dynamics loses hyperbolicity. Periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic dynamics occur, including motion with mixed spectrum. The case of $3$-dimensional skew Hopf bifurcation families of diffeomorphisms near integrability is discussed, surveying some recent results in a broad perspective. One result, using KAM-theory, deals with the persistence of quasi-periodic circles. Other results concern the bifurcations of periodic attractors in the case of resonance.
