Behavioural observations from both the field and captivity indicate
that same-sex sexual interactions are widespread throughout the
animal kingdom, and occur quite frequently in certain non-human
species. Proximate studies of these phenomena have yielded
important insights into genetic, hormonal and neural correlates. In
contrast, there has been a relative paucity of research on the
evolutionary aspects. Homosexual Behaviour in Animals is a 2006
text which seeks to redress this imbalance by exploring animal
same-sex sexual behaviour from an evolutionary perspective.
Contributions focus on animals that routinely engage in homosexual
behaviour and include birds, dolphin, deer, bison and cats, as well
as monkeys and apes, such as macaques, gorillas and bonobos. A
final chapter looks at human primates. This book will appeal to
graduate students and researchers in evolutionary biology,
biological anthropology, zoology, evolutionary psychology, animal
behaviour and anyone interested in the current state of knowledge
in this area of behavioural studies.
