Seksueel gedrag is complex én boeiend. Slakken beschieten elkaar bijvoorbeeld met pijlen tijdens hun liefdesspel. Vrouwelijke pimpelmezen gaan graag vreemd, naakte molratten mogen zich niet voortplanten en Amazone-gifkikkers doen aan kinderkannibalisme. Het penisduel vertelt hoe dit kleurrijke gedrag ontstaat. Het blijkt dat alle partijen - mannetje, vrouwtje, jongen en soms ook verwanten - elk hun eigen belangen hebben. Die belangen kunnen overeenkomen, maar soms ook lijnrecht tegenover elkaar staan. Het penisduel bevat concrete verhalen over actueel onderzoek. De onderzoekers komen zelf aan het woord. Ze vertellen bijvoorbeeld over veroveringsstrategieën, partnerkeus, zorg voor jongen, taakverdeling in sociale groepen en de speciale positie van dieren die man en vrouw tegelijk zijn. Naast alledaagse soorten, zoals tuinslakken, wespen en huismussen, passeren ook exotische soorten de revue, zoals blauwpootgenten en reuzenpijlinktvissen. Onooglijke kriebelbeestjes zoals bedwantsen en mieren ontbreken evenmin. Het resultaat is een rijke selectie aan verhalen over het seksuele leven van dieren. Het penisduel is een fascinerend boek voor iedereen die meer wil weten over wat zich afspeelt in de achtertuin, buiten in de natuur, op de kinderboerderij of in de diepzee.

How do chimpanzees say, 'I want to have sex with you?' By clipping a leaf or knocking on a tree trunk? How do they eat live aggressive ants? By using a short stick with one hand or long stick with both? Ivorian and Tanzanian chimpanzees answer these questions differently, as would humans from France and China if asked how they eat rice. Christophe Boesch takes readers into the lives of chimpanzees from different African regions, highlighting the debate about culture. His ethnography reveals how simple techniques have evolved into complex ones, how teaching styles differ, how material culture widens access to new food sources and how youngsters learn culture. This journey reveals many parallels between humans and chimpanzees and points to striking differences. Written in a vivid and accessible style, Wild Cultures places the reader in social and ecological contexts that shed light on our twin cultures.

After his famous visit to the Galápagos Islands, Darwin speculated that "one might fancy that, from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends." This book is the classic account of how much we have since learned about the evolution of these remarkable birds. Based upon over a decade's research, Grant shows how interspecific competition and natural selection act strongly enough on contemporary populations to produce observable and measurable evolutionary change. In this new edition, Grant outlines new discoveries made in the thirteen years since the book's publication. Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches is an extraordinary account of evolution in action.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
