The first volume of Evolutionary Bio/ogy was published eleven years
ago. Since that time eleven volumes and one supplement have
appeared. As stated in earlier prefaces, we are continuing the
focus of this series on critical reviews, commentaries, original
papers, and controversies in evolu tionary biology. lt is our aim
to publish papers primarily of greater length than normally
published by society journals and quarterlies. We therefore invite
colleagues to submit chapters that fall within the focus and
standards of Evolutionary Bio/ogy. The Editors vii Contents 1.
