Human Sperm Competition

Behavioural ecologists and evolutionary biologists have for a number of years been interested in the biological implications of sperm from different males competing for fertilization of the egg in the female tract. This book discusses these implications for human sexual behaviour and human infertility problems. Throughout the book, reference is made to work on the sexual behaviour of other animals, particularly primates and other mammals, where the resulting perspective helps to understand human behaviour. This book should be of interest to behavioural biologists, evolutionary biologists and biomedical personnel interested in infertility problems.
