Reproductive Success: Studies of Individual Variation in Contrasting Breeding Systems

by T. H. Clutton-Brock (Editor)

Overview

"This book is well worth buying for its detailed summaries of the 25 studies, many of which are classic long-term projects, and for its insights into the factors determining reproductive success."—William J. Sutherland, TREE

"A must read for anyone interested in evolution, mating/social systems, and population ecology."—John L. Koprowski, IJournal of Insect Behavior
