Rozmnožování z pohledu evoluce - Námluvy, sňatky a podvody v říši živočichů a rostlin – Balážová Alena (2016)

The book summarizes new findings about the reproduction of organisms, primarily animals and plants, in a popularizing manner. The main goal is to explain in an understandable form the general evolutionary principles that apply to reproduction and to familiarize readers with modern scientific theories in this field. Individual mechanisms are illustrated with a large number of specific examples and interesting facts in the form of boxes that expand on the main text. The book avoids a simple bibliographic listing of facts and, with its cross-sectional, evolutionarily oriented perspective, suitably complements available textbooks or encyclopedias. Therefore, it is intended not only for teachers and biology students in secondary and higher education but also for the broader professional public and other interested parties in biological fields who wish to expand their knowledge.
