Book ChapterDOI
Sneakers, Satellites, and Helpers: Parasitic and Cooperative Behavior in Fish Reproduction
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the current knowledge of the ways in which fish compete at different levels of sexual reproduction and describes how competition for resources may lead to cooperative behavior, even between the competitors themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm competition in fish: `bourgeois' males and parasitic spawning
TL;DR: Recent theoretical, empirical and comparative evidence suggests that adaptations to sperm competition in fish might be responsible for some of the most intriguing examples of reproductive design known.
Book
Alternative Reproductive Tactics: An Integrative Approach
TL;DR: The evolution of alternative mating tactics: concepts and questions Michael Taborsky, Rui F. Oliveira and H. Jane Brockmann examine the role of genes and the environment in the expression and evolution ofAlternative reproductive tactics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal personality due to social niche specialisation
TL;DR: How animal personality research might benefit from insights into the study of alternative tactics and how selection can favour behavioural diversification and consistency due to fitness benefits resulting from conflict reduction among social partners are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.
