There are more than 6000 species belonging to twenty-seven orders
in the Class Mammalia. Comparative studies of this diverse and
magnificent array of extant species provide valuable opportunities
to formulate and test hypotheses concerning the evolution of
reproduction. This is the first book to explore, in depth and
breadth, the complex interrelationships that exist between patterns
of mating behaviour and the evolution of mammalian reproductive
anatomy and physiology. It focuses upon the role that copulatory
and post-copulatory sexual selection have played during the
evolution of the monotremes, marsupials and placental mammals, and
examines the effects of sperm competition and cryptic female choice
upon coevolution of the genitalia in the two sexes. In addition,
due weight is also given to discussions of the modes of life of
mammals, and to the roles played by natural selection and phylogeny
in determining their reproductive traits.
