Evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive strategies / de Jong, T.J ; Klinkhamer, P.G.L. (2005)  

Public ISBD Titre : Evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive strategies Type de document : livre Auteurs : de Jong, T.J ; Klinkhamer, P.G.L. Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 333 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-52894-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology  Evolution  Plant population  Population dynamics  Reproductive behaviour Résumé : Evolutionary biologists have produced a solid body of evidence to explain patterns of diversification, both within and among species. Recent textbooks are weighted towards studies of animals, which is surprising given that plants are ideally suited for answering evolutionary questions. Plants do not stand up and walk away and they can easily be cloned, transplanted or potted for experiments. This book aims to set the record straight by placing the wealth of data that have been collected on plants into the unifying framework of game theory. This allows a test of the theory of natural selection in some cases, while in other cases highlighting the need for additional data collection and theoretical development. It is the authors' hope that many students will take on this challenge and help the study of the evolutionary ecology of plants to develop as a mature, predictive science.

Female control: sexual selection by cryptic female choice / Eberhard, W.G. (1996)  

Public ISBD Titre : Female control: sexual selection by cryptic female choice Type de document : livre Auteurs : Eberhard, W.G. Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 1996 Collection : Monographs in behavior and ecology Importance : 501 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-01084-7 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Females  Physiological regulation  Reproduction  Reproductive behaviour  Sexual behaviour Résumé : A growing body of evidence has begun to reveal flaws in the traditional assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. William Eberhard has compiled an impressive array of research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. He describes studies of many different cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but nevertheless reject him as a father. Evidence from various fields indicates that such selectivity by females may be the norm rather than the exception. Because most post-copulatory competition between males for paternity is played out within the bodies of females, female behavior, morphology, and physiology probably often influence male success in these contests. Eberhard draws examples from a diversity of organisms, ranging from ctenophores to scorpions, nematodes to frogs, and crickets to humans. Cryptic female choice establishes a new bridge between sexual selection theory and reproductive physiology, in particular the physiological effects of male seminal products on female reproductive processes, such as sperm transport, oviposition, and remating. Eberhard interweaves his review of previous studies with speculation on the consequences of this theoretical development, and indicates promising new directions for future research.

A natural history of sex: the ecology and evolution of mating behavior / Forsyth, A. (2001)

Public ISBD Titre : A natural history of sex: the ecology and evolution of mating behavior Type de document : livre Auteurs : Forsyth, A. Editeur : Buffalo, New York : Firefly Books Année de publication : 2001 Importance : 192 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55209-481-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Copulation  Evolution  Mating systems  Reproductive behaviour  Sex  Sexual behaviour Résumé : Described by the author as a book "about the weird diversity of sexual behavior," A Natural History of Sex explores "how to look at life, how to analyze and speculate about why something is as it is and not otherwise." In a series of engaging essays, Forsyth considers a host of more specific questions, which run the gamut from the obscure and the bizarre to the familiar. Why do roosters crow and waggle their wattles? Why does it benefit the female human to remain inscrutable about her sexual cycle? Who instituted monogamy? Why would a male mite copulate with its mother? Why does the male bedbug drive its "outlandish, formidable penis" into the female's abdomen? Forsyth's highly observational mind ranges over the natural world, revealing the seemingly random patterns and consequences of animal sexual behavior. This classic reference is a must for anyone who has ever wondered just what it is that makes the world go round.
