  • Conservation in the 21st Century: Gorillas as a Case Study

    Edited by T.S. Stoinski, H. D. Steklis, P.T. Mehlman ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Like other fields of science, wildlife conservation is a changing field. Threats facing wild populations of apes and other species, say 20 years ago, are likely not the same ones most pressing today, and even where threats have remained unchanged, more effective means of addressing them may be available now. Conservation scientists have learned from many years of experience, and both theoretical ... Read more

  • The Evolution of Emotional Communication

    From Sounds in Nonhuman Mammals to Speech and Music in Man

    Edited by Sabine Schmidt, Elke Zimmermann, Eckart Altenmüller ...
    Series series Series in Affective Science
    Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the aggressive barking of a pet dog, and the longing meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive. Are there universal principles governing our own communication system? Can we even see how close animals are related to us by constructing an evolutionary tree based on similarities and ... Read more

  • Behavioural Responses to a Changing World

    Mechanisms and Consequences

    Edited by Ulrika Candolin, Bob B.M. Wong ...
    Human-induced environmental change currently represents the single greatest threat to global biodiversity. Species are typically adapted to the local environmental conditions in which they have evolved. Changes in environmental conditions initially influence behaviour, which in turn affects species interactions, population dynamics, evolutionary processes and, ultimately, biodiversity. How animals ... Read more

  • Too Smart for our Own Good

    The Ecological Predicament of Humankind

    by Craig Dilworth ...
    We are destroying our natural environment at a constantly increasing pace, and in so doing undermining the preconditions of our own existence. Why is this so? This book reveals that our ecologically disruptive behaviour is in fact rooted in our very nature as a species. Drawing on evolution theory, biology, anthropology, archaeology, economics, environmental science and history, this book explains ... Read more

    Edited by Takeshi Furuichi, Juichi Yamagiwa, Filippo Aureli ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Why do females in male-philopatric species seem to show larger variation in their life history strategies than males in female-philopatric species? Why did females in human societies come to show enormous variation in the patterns of marriage, residence and mating activities?To tackle these important questions, this book presents the latest knowledge about the dispersing females in male ...

  • Plant-Animal Communication

    by H. Martin Schaefer, Graeme D. Ruxton ...
    Communication is an essential factor underpinning the interactions between species and the structure of their communities. Plant-animal interactions are particularly diverse due to the complex nature of their mutualistic and antagonistic relationships. However the evolution of communication and the underlying mechanisms responsible remain poorly understood. Plant-Animal Communication is a timely ... Read more
