Ebook "Challenging popular myths of sex, gender and biology" presents contributions from international researchers from a variety of disciplines—biology, history of science, anthropology, human evolution, and social sciences all with the aim of challenging popular misconceptions of sex differences. The chapters in this collection offer not only a critique of conventional understandings of sex and gender, but the authors also demonstrate that current research fi ndings suggest alternative ways of conceiving of sex, gender, and biology.

Ebook "The evolution of mammalian sociality in an ecological perspective" discusses factors associated with group formation, group maintenance, group population structure, and other events and processes (e.g., physiology, behavior) related to mammalian social evolution. Within- and between-lineages, features of prehistoric and extant social mammals, patterns and linkages are discussed as components of a possible social “tool-kit”.

Ebook "Anolis lizards of the Caribbean: Ecology, evolution, and plate tectonics" are ideally suited for the study of evolutionary ecology. Offering fascinating insights into the more than 150 species dispersed throughout the Caribbean islands, Jonathan Roughgarden details the differences between species in a wide range of behavioral and physical characteristics, including foraging behaviors, body size, and habitat use, resulting from evolutionary divergences concurrent with the plate-tectonic origins of the region.

Ebook "New perspectives in the study of Mesoamerican primates: Distribution, ecology, behavior, and conservation" is to present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in primate field research, ecology, and conservation biology in Mesoamerica. The overall goal of each contribution is to integrate newly collected field data with theoretical perspectives drawn from evolutionary biology, socioecology, biological anthropology, and conservation to identify how our current knowledge of primate behavior and ecology has moved beyond more traditional approaches.

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.

Ebook "The bonobos: Behavior, ecology, and conservation" focuses on scientific research. Behavioral studies in captivity propose to answer why bonobos have some unique characteristics such as high social status of females and flexible social relationships. The outcomes present important aspects to be investigated in running field studies. In the wild, analysis of population genetics across the bonobo's distribution range illuminates the species' evolutionary path and contributes to a global management plan.
