Animal Behavior Abstracts

Under the editorial guidance of one of the world's leading ethologists, Animal Behavior Abstracts is an indispensable resource for scientists in behavioral and related studies. Significant papers relevant to animal behavior, with subjects ranging from neurophysiology to behavioral ecology, from genetics to applied ethology, are covered. Animal Behavior Abstracts surveys all of the important journals dealing with the biology of particular taxonomic groups. And researchers will find both field and laboratory inquiries summarized. Editorial Advisor P.P.G. Bateson is a past president of the Association for the Study of Animal Behavior as well as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Currently Professor of Ethology at the University of Cambridge, Dr. Bateson co-edited the first eight volumes of Perspectives in Ethology (Plenum Press). His editorial guidance ensures the continued importance of this journal to the field of animal behavior.

AB:	Abstract Populations are often composed of more than just randomly mating subpopulations - many organisms form social groups with distinct patterns of mating and dispersal. Such patterns have received much attention in behavioral ecology, yet theories of population genetics rarely take social structures into account. Consequently, population geneticists often report high levels of apparent inbreeding and concomitantly low effective sizes, even for species that avoid mating between close kin. Recently, a view of gene dynamics has been introduced that takes dispersal and social structure into account. Accounting for social structure in population genetics leads to a different perspective on how genetic variation is partitioned and the rate at which genic diversity is lost in natural populations - a view that is more consistent with observed behaviors for the minimization of inbreeding.
