Abstract

Examines whether the particular reproductive and subsequent social patterns of ungulates living in arid habitats differ significantly from those living in mesic ones. The author begins by outlining the basic tenets of life history and mating system theory, then using environmental features of arid habitats he uses the theories to make predictions about what life history and mating patterns should occur under extremely arid conditions. Comparisons of closely related species, and even different populations of one species, living in habitats of varying aridity are then used to evaluate the accuracy of the predictions. -from Author
