Clutton-Brock, T. (2016). Mammal societies. John Wiley & Sons.
Written by Tim Clutton-Brock, one of the world’s leading behavioural ecologists and founder of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, this book provides a comprehensive synthesis of social behaviour and social organisation in mammals. It explores the influence of social and physical environments on selection pressures operating on females and males and on the evolution of behavioural, physiological, and anatomical adaptations. By synthesizing these concepts across a range of mammalian groups, it ultimately seeks to place research on human societies into a broader perspective.
