Reproductive skew is the study of how reproduction is partitioned
in animal societies. 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.
