{"product_id":"sexual-selection-and-the-barn-anders-pape-mzuller-9780198540281","title":"Sexual Selection and the Barn Swallow","description":"This informative book details the important effects sexual selection has on barn swallow mating behavior, mating competition, parental care, host-parasite interactions, and migration strategies. The first two chapters present a concise, insightful review of the two main components of sexual selection theory--male-male competition and female choice. Citing evidence from the author's long-term field work on the monogamous barn swallow, subsequent chapters investigate the advantages held by males with colorful plumage and by females who are choosy when selecting a mating partner. In his exploration of the roles of behavior, ecology, morphology, genetics, and evolution, M ller provides an invaluable synthesis of barn swallow mating behavior research. Students and researchers of ecology, animal behavior, ornithology, and evolutionary biology will welcome this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anders Pape Møller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198540280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198540281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.28w x 0.85d","brand":"Anders Pape Møller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47420221096191,"sku":"9780198540281","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10c8b4fe-2aa9-4f62-b42c-4c3ae7e55562.jpg?v=1761525901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-selection-and-the-barn-anders-pape-mzuller-9780198540281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
