Module 4 Reproduction: In the fourth module, the chapters covered in the textbook go into more details about testing hypotheses in behavioral ecology that are based on theoretical aspects of sociobiology. Starting with mating systems (Chapter 9), the logic of natural selection is then applied to coevolution of male and female strategies in sex allocation (Chapter 10), then to the questions about how much individual decisions are shaped by selfish genes (Chapter 11). This is a substantial upgrade from the way these ideas were organized in previous years. See current materials in learning module 4 in elearning.
