Description

Wolves excitedly greet each other as members of the pack come together; a bumble bee uses its long tongue to reach the nectar at the base of a foxglove flower; a mongoose swiftly and deftly bites its prey to death; young cheetahs rest quietly together, very close to sleep. This revised and updated edition of An Introduction to Animal Behaviour provides a beautifully written introduction to the fundamentals of animal behaviour. The text is structured around four key questions of causation, evolution, development and function, which form the fundamental framework of the subject. The authors provide accounts of all levels of behaviour, from the nerve cell to that of the population, using fascinating examples of complex behavioural mechanisms. Clear explanations and concise, readable text make this a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand animal behaviour. The enthusiasm of the authors for their subject shines through in this engaging and accessible textbook, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a comprehensive introduction to the field.
