Ebook Reproduction and fitness in baboons: Behavioral, ecological, and life history perspectives

Ebook "Reproduction and fitness in baboons: Behavioral, ecological, and life history perspectives" will address the questions of life history and reproduction by attempting to isolate the various components of reproductive success and fitness in baboons. This requires assembling research interests in morphology, behavior, ecology, and endocrinology of the five subspecies of Papio baboons. By synthesizing studies of reproduction, life history, growth, parenting, ecology, mate choice, and mating success, this volume will shed light on general features of life history traits and reproductive strategies that have made baboons successful.
