Sperm Competition and Sexual Selection presents the intricate ways
in which sperm compete to fertilize eggs and how this has prompted
reinterpretations of breeding behavior. This book provides a
theoretical framework for the study of sperm competition, which is
a central part of sexual selection. It also discusses the roles of
females and the relationships between paternal care in sperm
competition. The chapters focusing on taxonomic development are
diverse and cover all the major animal groups, both vertebrate and
invertebrate, and plants. The final chapter provides an overview
discussing the relationship between sperm competition and sexual
selection in terms of both function and mechanism and how these
translate into species fitness. This book will be of prime interest
to behaviorists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists, suggesting
new avenues of research and new ways of approaching old problems.
