Geographic Variation in Behavior: Perspectives on Evolutionary Mechanisms

Traditional approaches to the study of animal behavior have most often assumed that all members of a species exhibit the same behavior, termed species-typical behavior. The papers in
Geographic Variation in Behavior demonstrate the fallacy of this assumption, providing ample evidence of variation across the ranges of a wide variety of taxa. The contributors have pioneered a variety of approaches to using geographically variable behavioral phenotypes for addressing these evolutionary issues. …
