Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good-. Book is in pristine condition. "This book will become a standard reference work on the subject for many years to come. It is suitable for both graduate students This unique source of information should not be missing from the bookshelf of any student of insect behavioural ecology and due to its interdisciplinary and concept-driven approach it will also be of relevance and use to a broad audience of evolutionary biologists. I also believe that broadly interested zoologists and ecologists as well as laymen naturalists will undoubtedly find it both instructive and entertaining." [J. Zdarek] "This work was one of the key texts that helped define modern behavioural ecology. It has had a huge impact in shaping 'adaptationist' approaches to the study of animal behaviour, ending up far more than the sum of its parts, and influencing the study of the evolution of reproductive behaviour far beyond the taxonomic remit of insects."
