Males and females often differ in developmental patterns, adult morphology, ecology and behaviour, and in many mammals males are often larger. Size dimorphism results in divergent nutritional and energetic requirements or reproductive strategies by the sexes, which in turn sometimes causes them to select different forage, use different habitats, and express differing social affinities. Such divergent life-styles often lead males and females to live large parts of their lives separately. Sexual segregation is widespread in animals. Males and females may share the same habitat, but at different times, for example, or they might use different habitats entirely. Why did sexual segregation evolve and what factors contribute to it? Sexual Segregation in Vertebrates explores these questions by looking at a wide range of vertebrates and is aimed as a synthesis of our current understanding and a guide for future research.

Als der Autor als freier Berichterstatter nach Nordafrika ging, wurde er Zeuge einer sehr bewegenden Zeit, und begegnete Menschen, mit denen ihn gemeinsame Erlebnisse unvergesslich verbanden.Es folgten zahlreiche abenteuerliche Reisen und Aufenthalte in Südamerika, Asien, der Karibik und auch in Afrika.Nach beruflichen Veränderungen kehrte der Autor wiederholt nach Nordafrika zurück, zuletzt um im Süden von Tunesien ein Safari-Unternehmen zu führen. Zahlreiche Fahrten in die Sahara machten der Aruto zu einem Kenner der Wüste und hinterließen starke Eindrücke, die ihn nachhaltig prägten.Einen Teil seiner aufregenden Erlebnisse hat der Autor in diesem Buch niedergeschrieben.Africa mon amour und andere Geschichten wurden in ungewöhnlicher Klangfarbe erzählt, die den Leser in die faszinierende Welten entführt.
