Opis

With its broad focus, ranging from microorganisms to humans, this book provides the first comprehensive account of the evolution of sociality by natural selection. The authors demonstrate how the stunning diversity of social behaviour seen in nature can be explained with just a handful of fundamental evolutionary principles.

Recenzje

'The Evolution of Social Behavior nicely captures the fascinating diversity of social behavior and some of the cool ideas used to explain it in a refreshing new way … the three authors are empirical leaders in the study of social behavior and their study subjects (insects, fish, mammals, birds) are diverse … This book is a necessary part of any behavioural ecologist's library. It contains a fresh approach to the topic with many thought-provoking ideas, some effective reviews of specific topics, and many excellent examples.' Dave Westneat, International Society for Behavioral Ecology Newsletter
