Sperm Competition And The Evolution Of Animal Mating Systems by Robert L. Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Fairly dry text, what you’d expect. Shows you how adaption as design is presented as a calibration to game theory among others that would compete with the species in question.
The most interesting essays were the ones that were inconclusive because they were unable to decide what specifics as to calibrate the statistics to, species or individual?
When it comes to reproduction, it seems, that anything goes. Individuals account for very little as everything is a mediocre “play by numbers”.
Fairly good text though, in terms of research. The authors sure took their time to study.
