Sexual selection and the descent of man, 1871-1971
TL;DR: In the first full discussion of sexual selection since 1871, leading biologists brought modern genetic theory and behavior observation to bear on the subject as mentioned in this paper, and the result is a remarkably original and well-rounded view of the whole concept that will be invaluable especially to students of evolution and human sexual behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of social behavior
TL;DR: For several years the study of social behavior has been undergoing a revolution with far-reaching consequences for the social and biological sciences, partly due to growing acceptance of the evidence that the potency of natural selection is overwhelmingly concentrated at levels no higher than that of the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment strategy and the evolution of fighting behaviour.
TL;DR: Predictions compatible with the observations are given, indicating that RHP loss alone can be adequate to explain withdrawal: escalation behaviour.

Haploidploidy and the evolution of the social insect
Robert Trivers,Hope Hare +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented from 20 species that the ratio of investment in monogynous ants is, indeed, about 1 : 3, and this discovery is subject to a series of tests, which provide quantitative evidence in support of kinship theory, sex ratio theory, and the assumption that the offspring is capable of acting counter to its parents' best interests.

Intra-sexual selection in Drosophila.
TL;DR: Epigamic selection includes the major part of what Darwin meant by sexual selection, and is introduced to apply to characters which increased the fertility of a given mating and therefore had a selective value for the species as a whole.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.

Aggressiveness, Territoriality, and Sexual Behavior in Field Crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
TL;DR: Groups of adult male field crickets caged in small arenas form essentially linear dominance hierarchies which are stable for short periods of time and can be described in terms of several characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of sexual receptivity in female Drosophila.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that increase in juvenile hormone titre is responsible for the ‘switch-on’ of receptivity and the situation revealed in Drosophila is compared with that found in other insects, particularly with regard to the role of the endocrine system.
