This symposium volume highlights current research in the general field of animal behaviour. The contributors have focused on a series of studies confronting wide-ranging issues: sexual selection and mate choice; differential parental investment; apparent altruism and cooperative behaviour; and the relevance of phylogenetic constraints and historical information. The volume will appeal to evolutionary biologists, behavioural ecologists, palaeontologists, and systematic zoologists, as well as graduate students in these areas.

'This is a valuable book that contains a good blend of topics.' Animal Behaviour
Any successful treatment of the phylogeny of the animal kingdom these days should have three things: 1) a solid knowledge of all the groups, 2) a cladistic approach, and 3) a love of the myriad diversity of the creatures themselves. Claus Nielsen's new book has all three of these ... I find that the author has done a remarkable job of making sense of invertebrates ... a find piece of work. (Cladistics)
Claus NIELSEN writes that his book is "not meant as an alternative to the several recent textbooks of systematic zoology, but as a supplement ...". Compared to these, Claus NIELSEN provides more original illustrations, a more elaborate discussion of alternative hypotheses, more intriguing phylogenetic arguments, and definitely easier reading. (Michael Schmitt, Zoologischer Anzeiger, Band 236 Heft 2)
