Description
Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction Understanding animal behaviour is crucial to their survival and reproduction. Advances in molecular tools, computing, and image analysis are revolutionising the study of animal behaviour, enabling us to investigate behaviour in ways previously impossible. By combining these with traditional methods of observation and experimentation, we are gaining a deeper understanding of animal behaviour than ever before. This book explores how animal behaviour has evolved, how individual behaviours develop, and how we can understand animal societies. Tristram D. Wyatt examines a range of animal species, from mammals to birds, to analyse what drives behaviour and explore concepts such as instinct, learning, and culture. He also considers aspects of behavioural ecology and human behaviour, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject. The Very Short Introductions series offers a concise and accessible introduction to a wide range of subjects. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand animal behaviour and its importance in the natural world.
