Description

Animal Personality: Uncovering the Science Behind Individual Variation Discover how scientists have confirmed that animals have distinct individual personalities, and what this means for our treatment and care of pets, farm animals, and wildlife. This book delves into the history of behavioural testing, scientific measurement, and statistical analysis of animal personalities, exploring the evolutionary reasons behind traits like fearfulness, aggression, and sociability. It also challenges long-held beliefs about animal traits such as dominance theory. By examining the science of personality in non-human animals, Animal Personality provides a fascinating insight into the world of ethology. A valuable resource for both ethologists and animal owners, this book offers an informed and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between animals and their environments.
