"City plants grow spontaneously in sidewalk cracks surrounded by buildings and streets. Small invertebrates reside in walled courtyards. How do members of apparently isolated urban populations find mates? How do they avoid inbreeding? Plants and animals that inhabit cities are o…

Presenting a unified conceptual and statistical framework for understanding the evolution of reproductive strategies, this text uses the concept of the opportunity for sexual selection, illustrating how and why sexual selection is one of the strongest and fastest of all evolutio…
Using the concept of the opportunity for sexual selection, the authors illustrate how and why sexual selection, though restricted to one sex and opposed in the other, is one of the strongest and fastest of all evolutionary forces.

"Life histories can be defined as the means by which individuals (or more precisely genotypes) vary their age- or stage-specific expenditures of reproductive effort in response to genetic, phenotypic, and environmental correlates of survival and fecundity. Life histories reflect…
