Using its powerful beak, a lorikeet gently preens its mate's 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 Tinbergen's 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.

' ... this edition is just as easy to read and as clearly explained as all the previous ones. It will provide an excellent and up-to-date introduction to the broad field of animal behaviour.' Marion Hall, Animal Welfare

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 2nd Edition. Paperback.An Introduction to Animal Behaviour. Contemporary Biology Crease to corner back cover. The study of animal behaviour continues to expand rapidly within several diverse disciplines. it seems as the author says 'more than ever worthwhile to introduce the subject through an approach based on general biological principles'. The basic plan of this highly successful textbook remains unchanged, but throughout the whole work extensive re-writing has been carried out where new information has changed the original material. probably the most extensive changes are in the discussion of the nature of aggression in Chapter 4. The dispute on this topic has become widespread and it offers a good opportunity to illustrate some of the problems inherent in the study of motivation. Work on animal societies is increasingly coming to involve sociologists and anthropologists as well as zoologists. Much of the recent work on social organizations has yielded fascinating results, and is put into its true biological perspective in the new chapter devoted to social behaviour.
