This 1980 book considers the patterns of population fluctuations of animals and intraspecific social relations by means of comparative methods and discusses the evolution of population regulation mechanisms and social relations. He argues that animals repeatedly face the 'choice' of two strategies - low fecundity combined with parental protection, or high fecundity.
