Synopsis
Historically, reproductive science has focused on reproductive behaviors divorcedfrom the contexts in which they occur. Taking a more integrated view, this book explores theneuroendocrine bases of reproduction in relation to their environmental and social contexts. Thecontributors provide compelling accounts of reproductive behaviors in animals ranging from turtlesand lizards to humans and nonhuman primates. They examine these behaviors from the perspectives ofethology, endocrinology, behavioral genetics, and evolutionary ecology. Together, they illuminatethe dynamic interplay between the ecological and social contexts of a species and the biologicalmechanisms regulating reproductive behavior. The book shows how an appreciation of the fullcomplexity of the context of reproduction actually simplifies and clarifies our understanding ofreproductive behavior.
