Biology Digest All will welcome [this book] as an interesting, well-researched, extraordinarily well-written, and occasionally humorous work in behavioral ecology. Choice This is certainly worth reading if this is an area that you are interested in. Forbes obviously knows his subject. -- Nicola Vollenhoven Biologist
