Ecology is the scientific study of the way in which the plants, animals, and
people are related to each other and to their environment; and reproduction is
the act or the process of producing babies, young animals, or plants. Ecology
and animal reproduction forms an important part of curriculum of almost all
colleges and universities in India and abroad. Although a host of books on the
ecology are available, we did feel the need of a book which can provide
information on the diversity of animals inhabiting various ecological niches
together with the reproductive strategies adopted by them and to carry out
diverse kinds of reproductive-ecological analyses
