The relationship between social behaviour and ecological processes
- socioecology or behavioural ecology - has been an area of keen
interest within the biological sciences in recent years, with a
rapid expansion in both theoretical approaches and field studies.
The social strategies of animals display marked flexibility and
complexity, and yet are understandable in terms of the constraints
and opportunities provided by the environments in which they live.
The recognition that animal behaviour is both variable and
extremely responsive to local conditions has led to renewed
interest in comparisons between humans and other animals. This book
brings together a range of studies on the socioecology of humans
and other mammals, examining in a comparative perspective the
problems that all species face in living socially. Topics covered
include the causes of sociality, the influence of resources on
social organization, reproductive strategies in demographic and
life history contexts, strategies for offspring survival, and the
problems of applying general socioecological principles to humans
