Zusammenfassung

Die Mitglieder einer Art sind in charakteristischer Art und Weise in Raum und Zeit verteilt; sie verpaaren sich mit unterschiedlich vielen Mitgliedern des anderen Geschlechts, unterscheiden sich in ihrem elterlichen Fürsorgeverhalten und soziale Interaktionen sind nicht zufällig über Artgenossen verteilt. Analysen von Sozialsystemen beschäftigen sich mit den Ursachen, Mustern, Mechanismen und Konsequenzen dieser Diversität. Die Spannbreite der Sozialsysteme reicht von einzelgängerischen Individuen, die nur einmal im Leben mit einem Artgenossen zur Fortpflanzung zusammenkommen, bis hin zu Gruppen aus Tausenden Individuen, von denen manche Jahrzehnte lang zusammenleben. Wie die Gesellschaften verschiedener Arten organisiert sind, welche Faktoren die Ausprägung verschiedener Organisationsformen bestimmen, welche Fortpflanzungsstrategien unter welchen Bedingungen vorteilhaft sind und welche Formen der Jungenfürsorge nötig oder möglich sind, beschäftigt uns in diesem Kapitel.
