出版商概要
This excellent volume is filled with the most current and stimulating research on SSD... I found the efficiency of this format unique and effective... The data presentation and flow of ideas among chapters are superb. The editors and contributors are to be commended for the tight organization of the chapters... The volume represents a veritable toolbox for students - molecular techniques, phylogenetic comparative methods, and well-designed field and laboratory experiments are all generously represented. Veteran scholars will find new ideas and approaches in this book because it covers such a wide array of systems... I found this to be an excellent assemblage of contributions that will act as a guiding force in future studies of SSD. The Quarterly Review of Biology For any student or researcher interested in addressing the question of why males and females often differ strikingly in adult body size and morphology, this book is a valuable resource that balances case studies with review chapters.
