About this title

Synopsis:

This edited volume explores a new field of study devoted to understanding the interactions between hormones and behavior in animals residing in social groups. The reproductive patterns in numerous primates are examined and data linking reproductive endocrinology with evolutionary biology are discussed. Relevant new findings are presented on the socioendocrinology of prosimians, marmosets, tamarins, macaques, vervets, apes, and human beings. Among the major themes treated are: reproductive maturation and the timing of menarche; intersexual influences on reproductive endocrinology; lactational suppression of ovulation; and status-related effects of neuroendocrine function.
