Animal Behavior:
Mechanism, Development, Function and Evolution Chris Bernard
|
|
Animal behavior has
been one of the fastest-growing scientific disciplines of recent years. Its
impact on the way we think about biology has spawned lucid 'best-sellers' like
The Selfish Gene and widespread scientific and public debate about our
view of the natural world and our place in it. This book provides a
comprehensive introduction to the study of behaviour,
fro its basis in the animal's anatomy and physiology to its adaptive value in
the environment. It is aimed at undergraduate students in the biological
sciences and psychology and is designed to serve as both a detailed
introduction and an extensive, up-to-date source of reference enabling
students to pursue topics in the primary literature. |
