Download or read book Mate Choice written by Gil G. Rosenthal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new look at the evolution of mating decisions in organisms from protozoans to humans The popular consensus on mate choice has long been that females select mates likely to pass good genes to offspring. In Mate Choice, Gil Rosenthal overturns much of this conventional wisdom. Providing the first synthesis of the topic in more than three decades, and drawing from a wide range of fields, including animal behavior, evolutionary biology, social psychology, neuroscience, and economics, Rosenthal argues that "good genes" play a relatively minor role in shaping mate choice decisions and demonstrates how mate choice is influenced by genetic factors, environmental effects, and social interactions. Looking at diverse organisms, from protozoans to humans, Rosenthal explores how factors beyond the hunt for good genes combine to produce an endless array of preferences among species and individuals. He explains how mating decisions originate from structural constraints on perception and from nonsexual functions, and how single organisms benefit or lose from their choices. Both the origin of species and their fusion through hybridization are strongly influenced by direct selection on preferences in sexual and nonsexual contexts. Rosenthal broadens the traditional scope of mate choice research to encompass not just animal behavior and behavioral ecology but also neurobiology, the social sciences, and other areas. Focusing on mate choice mechanisms, rather than the traits they target, Mate Choice offers a groundbreaking perspective on the proximate and ultimate forces determining the evolutionary fate of species and populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HE SAID WE WOULD BE CLOSE, BUT I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THAT MEANT IF I DIED, HE WOULD TOO. TAMSIN HEWETT I only wanted to return to Earth, but the aliens murdered him before my eyes. On the way to Earth, leaving a piece of me behind, my heart sank as I watched the man I cared for, allow me to walk away from him without a word. Out of nowhere, we landed on the planet of Polyphemus III, and the one who holds a piece of my heart stepped forth. For the first time in my life, I believe that happiness, the joy of sharing your life with another, might be mine. My life has never been roses and champagne and this time was no different. Fairytales are popular on Earth, and every young girl secretly longs for her knight in glistening armor. This isn’t Earth and my deepest fantasies were decimated like a nuclear bomb. Right before my eyes, I watched them murdered him. I want to deny my fated mate. Deny myself, but my heart is weak and my body under his command. His need to protect me and keep me safe makes his domination over me almost unbearable. I have tried to be his good little submissive and obey his command, but I can’t. So, I do what us humans, do. Smile at him and plan my next move. What he and I have, is something so precious I can’t even comprehend the magnitude of this intimate bond that the gods have bestowed on us. In my heart, I hope the gods, will be on my side once more, keeping my fated mate and our bond protected, allowing him to understand… Revenge is mine. As I stand on the precipice, I know that my next steps will send me to stars or the fiery depths of hell. I’m not sure I will be able to live with my decision, which is fine since this is a one-way mission. Precious, beautiful things usually don’t last long. Like a shooting star, this moment in time might be fleeting but its effects carved into the depths of my soul forever. IARRED ACKMED Will our passion turn her eyes a stormy emerald or will they remain an amber color like the jewels in the Vhalian caves? I never dreamed that my fated mate would be a human female nor that she would be so reckless that her revenge would cause her to willingly lay her life down. She is skittish and I would chase her through the nine galaxies if need be. Someone hold my crown. As a royal prince I am used to getting my way, however my mate does not understand true submission or how to obey. I am flabbergasted that after our intimate moment I am left with a parchment upon my dresser as she once again puts her life in danger. The goddess truly did not make a mistake when gifting me her. I underestimated her need for justice just as she did my unwavering determination. My fated mate does not understand that his death was a bigger than we could ever have imagined. I place her life above my crown and planet. I am facing the most challenging battle yet, as I must save my planet, my people, and my mate. Please read Rescued by the Alien Prince before reading this book. Humans are exhilarating, frustrating and utterly captivating. What prince wouldn’t want that kind of excitement in his life? I am looking forward to teaching my Tamsin, many things. Humans get bord easily, yet our lives will never be monotonous. If the space pirates touch what is mine, I will annihilate their entire species. I will destroy planets to protect her fragile heart. When I get my hands on her, I will teach her true submission. She is mine: to love, cherish, and protect.

Read the full story to know more.. ‐------------------------------------- “Oh baby! You have no idea how badly I want to take you up in my room and devore your beautiful body?” My hands stopped wiping the floor and my head instantly snapped up to my mate, whose face is now buried in that girl’s neck. Their bodies were too close to my comfort. What did he just say? Did he just offer her to have s*x? Can’t he see me standing here? Am I that invisible to him that he is offering another girl to sleep with him right in front of me? I felt a part of my heart breaking at his words. I know I insisted him to not get physical with me until we make our relationship official, but it doesn’t mean he is allowed to do that with someone else. I am still his mate no matter what position our relationship is in. I can see their actions moving towards the direction of the bedroom and I have to stop them before they cross their limits. But how? Suddenly, an idea came into my head. I know this is going to earn me some harsh punishment, but at least I will keep my mate out of that girl’s body this way. With this thought, I picked up the bucket filled with dirty water and pretended to slip right in front of them, pouring all the water right on top of that girl’s head. “What the f*ck? You bi*ch. What did you do? Ewe.. This is no nasty. I have to take a shower right now. I’m leaving. But I will see you later for this.” My plan was a success. She ran out of there as fast as she can to clean herself and there was finally a satisfied smile on my face in joy. “Mila? Why did you do that? I know you did that on purpose.” My smile vanished when I hear Ralph’s angry voice for me. “I have something important to discuss with you. Please meet me at the garden tonight. I will be waiting.” Saying this, I started cleaning the excess water of the floor by myself. I wanted to talk to him right now, but we can’t afford to get caught. So I offered him to meet me later. He didn’t say anything further and went to his room angrily. Oh goddess. Why did I get such a mate who doesn’t understand me?
