Cole, C. J. 1984. Unisexual lizards. Sci. Am. 250:94–100 (Jan.). Some populations of whiptail lizards from the American southwest consist only of females that reproduce by virgin birth.
Crews, D. 1994. Animal sexuality. Sci. Am. 270:108–114 (Jan.). Sex is determined genetically in mammals and most other vertebrates, but not in many reptiles and fishes which lack sex chromosomes altogether. The author describes nongenetic sex determination and suggests a new framework for understanding the origin of sexuality.
Forsyth, A. 1986. A natural history of sex: the ecology and evolution of sexual behavior. New York, Charles Scribner’s Sons. Engagingly written, factually accurate account of the sex lives of animals from unicellular organisms to humans, abounding in imagery and analogy. Highly recommended.
Halliday, T. 1982. Sexual strategy. Survival in the wild. Chicago, University of Chicago Press. Semipopular treatment of sexual strategies, especially vertebrate mating systems, rested in a framework of natural selection. Wellchosen illustrations.
