Cetacean Sociality, Reproduction, and Conservation. 330 $aSex in Cetaceans provides an up-to-date review of multi-faceted aspects related to mating and reproduction in toothed and baleen whales. This open access book begins with discussions of sexual selection and anatomical traits related to mating and diversity between the sexes. The functions of non-conceptive copulations are reviewed as are different research techniques applied to explore sex in cetaceans. Authors and editors build knowledge of female and male social, mating, and parental strategies and tactics for several specific toothed dolphin/porpoise/whale species and baleen whale species. It concludes with a discussion of potential conservation efforts and ways to help especially beleaguered species and populations the world over. The volume is intended as a major primer of cetacean sex for undergraduate and graduate students, new and established researchers in the field, and the public wishing to learn more. 606 $aFreshwater ecology 606 $aMarine ecology 606 $aAnimal culture 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aSexual selection 606 $aFreshwater and Marine Ecology 606 $aAnimal Science 606 $aVertebrate Zoology 606 $aSexual Selection 615 0$aFreshwater ecology. 615 0$aMarine ecology. 615 0$aAnimal culture. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 0$aSexual selection. 615 14$aFreshwater and Marine Ecology. 615 24$aAnimal Science. 615 24$aVertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aSexual Selection. 676 $a577.6 676 $a577.7 686 $aMED089000$aSCI020000$aSCI027000$aSCI070000$2bisacsh 700 $aWu?rsig$b Bernd G$01197869 702 $aWu?rsig$b Bernd G.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOrbach$b Dara N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745585103321 996 $aSex in cetaceans$94400497 997 $aUNINA
