An Introduction to Animal Behaviour 5th Edition
Aubrey Manning University of Edinburgh & Marian Stamp Dawkins University of Oxford 1998
Using its powerful beak, a lorikeet gently preens its mateís feathers; young cheetahs rest together in the shade; fireflies semaphore to each other across a darkened landscape and a mongoose deftly bites its prey to death. The study of animal behaviour is about all these things and more. It involves absolute stillness and violent activity, and all the noises and smells and changes of colour and shape that characterize animal life. Taking the organisation of behaviour within the individual animal as its core, this is a clear, concise and readable textbook introduction to the fascinating world of animal behaviour, investigating Tinbergenís questions of causation, evolution, development and function. It provides lucid accounts of all levels of behaviour from the nerve cell to that of the population. The broad biological approach of this new and re-written edition makes it an excellent choice for all students and teachers of animal behaviour and psychology.
The definitive textbook on animal behaviour with adoptions throughout the world ï Readable, clear, concise introduction to the modern study of animal behaviour, including behavioural ecology and cognitive ethology ï Focuses on principles of behavioural organisation, not functions as in most other texts ï 5th edition of successful text now updated and reorganised in new format to give user-friendly guide for beginning students
