Description
The 30 articles that make up this collection are sequenced to complement Alcock's Animal Behavior, 6/e . Alternatively, the book can stand alone as a sampler of the excitement and diversity of research topics and methods that constitute the modern study of animal behaviour. The new edition is thoroughly revised, with new editors' introductions highlighting key concepts suitable for classroom study.
