Biography
Jamieson, Barrie G M
The book, part of the series Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny, is organized into 13 chapters, each written by respective experts. The chapters reflect a range of biological perspectives, including development, endocrinology, conservation, aquaculture, and ecology, and the different points of view create an overall appreciation for the utility of these animals in science and society. … This volume will be most useful to evolutionary ecologists, as it collects together excellent chapters on parental care, sexual selection, and sperm competition that both review and synthesize the literature.This evolutionary ecology focus is complemented by a deeper understanding of the physiological aspects of reproduction from several other chapters.
