Description
An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology by Nicholas B. Davies, John R. Krebs and Stuart A. West is a comprehensive textbook that explores the influence of natural selection on animal behaviour. This fourth edition has been thoroughly revised, incorporating new chapters, illustrations, and colour photographs to provide a fresh perspective on the subject. The book delves into how animals adapt to their environments, exploiting resources, avoiding predators, selecting mates, and caring for offspring, all in an effort to survive and reproduce. The authors also examine how animal societies reflect both cooperation and conflict among individuals. With its engaging and lucid style, this textbook is ideal for students of behavioural ecology, animal behaviour, and evolutionary biology. Key features of the book include new insights into the latest theoretical ideas, examples from micro-organisms, invertebrates, and vertebrates, as well as boxed sections and marginal notes to guide the reader.
