One of the earliest recognized forms of sexual conflict was infanticide by males, which
imposes serious costs on female reproductive success. Here I review two bodies of …

Cannibalism, the act of eating an individual of the same species, has long intrigued
researchers. More than 30 years after publication of reviews on the topic, there appears to …

The characterization of patterns of multiple mating is a major facet of molecular ecology and
is paramount to understanding the evolution of behaviours associated with parental care …

Why can we sometimes successfully distinguish males from females at a glance, even in a
species we have never seen before (Fig. 6.1)? One answer is that we make an often …

Parental care and filial cannibalism (the consumption of one's own offspring) co-occur in
many animals. While parental care typically increases offspring survival, filial cannibalism …

Social aggregation is a widespread and important phenomenon among fishes.
Understanding the questions of why and how aggregations form and are subsequently …

Invasive fish species can have major impacts on freshwater faunas, particularly in isolated
systems harbouring adaptive animal radiations. Here, we report on the occurrence and …

Some of the world's most spectacular species radiations or species flocks are found in so-
called 'ancient lakes'. h ese are long-lived lakes that have existed for 100 000 years …

Cannibalism, once viewed as a rare or aberrant behavior, is now recognized to be
widespread and to contribute broadly to the self‐regulation of many populations …

Filial cannibalism occurs in many animal species ranging from insects to mammals, and is
especially well described in teleost fishes. Numerous causes may lead to this behaviour, eg …
