"Rodent Societies "synthesizes and integrates the current state of
knowledge about the social behavior of rodents, providing
ecological and evolutionary contexts for understanding their
societies and highlighting emerging conservation and management
strategies to preserve them. It begins with a summary of the
evolution, phylogeny, and biogeography of social and nonsocial
rodents, providing a historical basis for comparative analyses.
Subsequent sections focus on group-living rodents and characterize
their reproductive behaviors, life histories and population
ecology, genetics, neuroendocrine mechanisms, behavioral
development, cognitive processes, communication mechanisms,
cooperative and uncooperative behaviors, antipredator strategies,
comparative socioecology, diseases, and conservation. Using the
highly diverse and well-studied Rodentia as model systems to
integrate a variety of research approaches and evolutionary theory
into a unifying framework, "Rodent Societies "will appeal to a wide
range of disciplines, both as a compendium of current research and
as a stimulus for future collaborative and interdisciplinary
investigations.
