Horns, Pronghorns, and Antlers

Since I have a special interest in signalling systems and sexual selection I was very interested in the ideas on the significance of horns and antlers offered by Anthony Bubenik when he visited our country a few years ago. I was therefore excited to review a book, dedicated to the topic of horns and antlers and edited by him and his son. The book comprises 19 chapters written by authors that have published extensively on the topic. Several aspects of hom and antler biology are covered, inclu. ding palaeontology, genetics, neurology, angiography, endocrinologyand ethology.
