Experts from the natural and social sciences examine the coexistence of productive and exploitative behavior strategies observable in many species at many levels. In the natural world, some agents (investors) employ strategies that provide resources, services, or information, while others (exploiters) gain advantages through these efforts. This behavior coexists and can be observed in many species and at many levels. For example, bacteria depend on the existence of biofilms to synthesize constituent proteins; cancerous cells employ angiogenesis to feed a tumor; and parents forgo vaccinating their children yet benefit from herd immunity. Two independent research traditions have developed to analyze this behavior--one couched in evolutionary theory championed by behavioral ecologists, the other in social science concepts advocated by economists. In this book experts from economics, evolutionary biology, behavioral ecology, public health, and anthropology look for commonalities in understanding and approach. The contributors consider parasitic strategies in ecological and economic terms; the governance of natural resources, with insights from "producer-scrounger models," forest management, and game theory; human health, discussing therapeutic opportunities, public health economics, and the integration of perspectives; and behavioral, social, and institutional consequences of exploitation strategies.

The book is especially helpful to learners who wish to acquire basic skills in quantitative and qualitative data analysis by using statistical packages such as SPSS and STATA. Theoretical principles are outlined, followed by easy numerical examples, along with steps that need to be followed for performing data analyses and interpreting results obtained from data analyses. The book has two aspects (quantitative and qualitative data analyses). As part of the quantitative aspect, the book stipulates theoretical principles, steps needed for data analysis, and the interpretation of results of data analyses. The book provides easy examples to follow on how to use the American Psychological Association (APA) citation-and-referencing style. Examples are provided for journal articles, books, and Internet-based reports and sources of information. A sample proposal, a questionnaire of study, and a list of interview questions are provided for learners to follow.
