Author: Tim Clutton-Brock Full Title: Mammal Societies Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell; 1 edition (May 31, 2016) Year: 2016 ISBN-13: 9781119095323 (978-1-119-09532-3) ISBN-10: 1119095328 Pages: 760 Language: English Genre: Zoology > Mammals File type: PDF (True, but nonnative Cover) Quality: 9/10 Price: 54.00 € The book aims to integrate our understanding of mammalian societies into a novel synthesis that is relevant to behavioural ecologists, ecologists, and anthropologists. It adopts a coherent structure that deals initially with the characteristics and strategies of females, before covering those of males, cooperative societies and hominid societies. It reviews our current understanding both of the structure of societies and of the strategies of individuals; it combines coverage of relevant areas of theory with coverage of interspecific comparisons, intraspecific comparisons and experiments; it explores both evolutionary causes of different traits and their ecological consequences; and it integrates research on different groups of mammals with research on primates and humans and attempts to put research on human societies into a broader perspective. ------------- Our members see more.
