Description

While organized partly to complement John Alcock's "Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach", this illustrated reader is designed to enhance courses based on other textbooks as well. Indeed, the book can stand alone as a sampler of the excitement and diversity of research approaches and organisms that constitute the modern study of animal behaviour.

Table of Contents

• Doing science
• the mechanisms of behaviour
