This open access book begins with discussions of sexual selection and anatomical traits related to mating and diversity between the sexes. The functions of non-conceptive copulations are reviewed as are different research techniques applied to explore sex in cetaceans. Authors and editors build knowledge of female and male social, mating, and parental strategies and tactics for several specific toothed dolphin/porpoise/whale species and baleen whale species. It concludes with a discussion of potential conservation efforts and ways to help especially beleaguered species and populations the world over. The volume is intended as a major primer of cetacean sex for undergraduate and graduate students, new and established researchers in the field, and the public wishing to learn more. 2023-10-13T15:43:43Z 2023-10-13T15:43:43Z 2023 book ONIX_20231013_9783031356513_17 9783031356513 9783031356506 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/76727 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-35651-3.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-35651-3 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-031-35651-3 10.1007/978-3-031-35651-3 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 a887da4e-621a-4c34-89bc-23cad4ce319f c05607e1-4686-4645-b43a-c51648e4f91f 9783031356513 9783031356506 Springer International Publishing 619 Cham [...] [...] Texas A and M University-Corpus Christi Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Texas A and M University Galveston Texas A&M University at Galveston open access
