Description:
Insects display a staggering diversity of mating and social behaviours. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of evolutionary and behavioural questions, such as the evolution of sex, sexual selection, sexual conflict, and parental care. This book is landmark study in the field, its impact shaped adaptationist approaches to the study of animal behaviour and influenced the study of the evolution of reproductive behaviour far beyond the taxonomic remit of insects.
