The white-necked raven (Corvus cryptoleucus), a close relative of the common crow, is indigenous to southwestern United States. Because in parts of its range it has gained the same ill repute as acquired by the crow and magpie in their respective ranges, a 5-year detailed study of its activities and food habits was made, during which many field data were gathered, and the contents of 827 stomachs were analyzed.

Insects and arachnids display the most impressive diversity of mating and social behaviour among all animals. This book investigates sexual competition in these groups, and the variety of ways in which males and females pursue, persuade, manipulate, control and help one another, enabling us to gain a better understanding of how conflicts and confluences of interest evolve together. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of mating systems in particular insect and arachnid groups, discusses intrinsic and extrinsic factors responsible for observed mating strategies, and suggests fruitful avenues for further research. The book culminates in a synthesis, reviewing the date in terms of the theory of sexual conflict. This broad-based book will be of immense value to students and researchers interested in reproductive strategies, behavioural ecology, entomology and arachnology.
