Sexual Selection: Perspectives and Models from the Neotropics presents new sexual selection research based on neotropical species. As neotropical regions are destroyed at an alarming rate, with an estimated 140 species of rainforest plants and animals going extinct every day, it is important to bring neotropical research to the fore. Sexual selection occurs when the male or female of a species is attracted by certain characteristics such as form, color, or behavior. When those features lead to a greater probability of successful mating, they become more prominent. Though most theoretical concepts around sexual selection and reproductive strategies are based on North American and European fauna, the neotropical region comprises much more biodiversity, with as many as 15,000 plant and animal species in a single acre of rain forest. This book illustrates concepts in sexual selection through themes ranging from female cryptic choice in insects, sexual conflict in fish, interaction between sexual selection and the immune system, nuptial gifts, visual and acoustic sexual signaling, and parental investment to alternative mating strategies. Sexual Selection is distinguished from current publications, primarily because of its latitudinal and taxonomic focus. Readers are introduced to systems mostly unknown outside the tropics, several of which bring into question some well-established patterns for temperate regions.
