But few vertebrate groups have aided evolutionary and ecological research more than the live-bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. Found throughout tropical and subtropical waters, poeciliids exhibit a fascinating variety of reproductive specializations, including viviparity, matrotrophy, unisexual reproduction, and alternative mating strategies, making them ideal models for research on patterns and processes in ecology, behavior, and evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEcology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes\u003c\/i\u003e is a much-needed overview of the scientific potential and understanding of these live-bearing fishes. Chapters by leading researchers take up a wide range of topics, including the evolution of unisexual reproduction, life in extreme environments, life-history evolution, and genetics. Designed to provide a single and highly approachable reference, \u003ci\u003eEcology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to students and specialists interested in all aspects of evolutionary ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan P.
