Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Description: Well illustrated, with much in color. ''To reproduce sexually, an animal must find a mate. And when the vagaries of mate choice enter the picture, the animal world takes on a carnival atmosphere. Birds, insects, and primates compete in order to obtain the best mates; some females choose males wisely, banking on superior genes or resources, while others seem to opt for the flashiest feathers, the catchiest song, or the most chic boudoir. How do animals choose their mates, and how do their mating practices affect their social systems and evolutionary success? The authors survey the diverse mating practices of species ranging from asexual microorganisms through insects and birds to mammals, including humans. They show how widely varied mate selection strategies may account for many of the behavioral and physical differences between the two sexes. They also suggest theories of how a species' ecological niche may account for its reproductive strategies. Looking at different mating systems -- monogamy, polygamy, and polyandry -- the Goulds take up the question of why even closely related species may have chosen completely different systems.'' This is the twenty-ninth volume in the Scientific American Library series.
