The study of alternative reproductive tactics (the behavioural
strategies used by individuals to increase their reproductive
success) is an evolutionary puzzle, and one of great interest to
researchers. For instance, why do some males guard both nest and
eggs, while others sneak into nests while pairs are spawning and
fertilise those eggs? The field offers a special opportunity to
study the evolution and functional causes of phenotypic variation,
which is a general problem in the field of evolutionary biology. By
integrating both mechanistic (psychological) and evolutionary
(behavioural ecology) perspectives and by covering a great
diversity of species, Alternative Reproductive Tactics addresses
this integrated topic of longstanding interest, bringing together a
multitude of otherwise scattered information in an accessible form
that is ideal for graduate students and researchers.
? The problem of ART is addressed from both a mechanistic
(physiological) and an evolutionary (behavioral ecology)
perspective ? Multidisciplinary approach covering a great diversity
of species
