'The Evolution of Insect Mating Systems' by Thornhill and Alcock was a key text in defining modern behavioural ecology. Published in 1983, it has had a huge impact in shaping 'adaptationist' approaches to the study of animal behaviour, and influencing the study of the evolution of reproductive behaviour far beyond the taxonomic remit of insects. While much in the original remains relevant today, the aim in this edited volume is to bring together some of world's leading insect researchers to bring the empirical and conceptual scope of the original book up to date.
