In many social animals reproduction is shared unequally and leads to a reproductive skew among group members. Skew theory investigates the genetic and ecological factors causal to the partitioning of reproduction in animal groups and may yield fundamental insights into the evolution of animal sociality. This book brings together new theory and empirical work, mostly in vertebrates, to test assumptions and predictions of skew models. It also gives an updated critical review of skew theory. The team of leading contributors cover a wide range of species, from insects to humans, and discuss both ultimate (evolutionary) and proximate (immediate) factors influencing reproductive skew. Academic researchers and graduate students alike with an interest in evolution and sociality will find this material stimulating and exciting. 606 $aVertebrates$xReproduction 606 $aSexual selection in animals 615 0$aVertebrates$xReproduction. 615 0$aSexual selection in animals. 676 $a591.56/2 702 $aHager$b Reinmar$f1974- 702 $aJones$b Clara B. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778408003321 996 $aReproductive skew in vertebrates$93688318 997 $aUNINA
