Synopsis
Animal Behavior/Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior (SET) provides a solid background in the neurophysiological and endocrinological bases of animal behavior. This specially priced set includes a copy of Breed and Moore, Animal Behavior and Tillberg/Breed/Hinners, Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior. The textbook covers the broad sweep of animal behavior from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behavior in conservation. Chapters cover behavior and homeostatic mechanisms, behavior and conservation, and behavioral aspects of disease. An entire chapter is devoted to the vibrant new field of behavior and conservation, including topics such as social behavior and the relationship between parasites, pathogens and behavior. Thoughtful coverage is also given to foraging behavior, mating and parenting behavior, anti-predator behavior and learning. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with thought-provoking questions. Furthermore, special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout. The laboratory manual guides students through the diverse and fascinating fields of behavioral and ethological studies, employing a wide array of organisms as model systems for the study of behavior. Students participate in the development of hypothesis and turn the recording, analysis, and interpretation of data into an active and engaging process. There is also a companion site for faculty and students to enhance their learning experience at: www.elsevierdirect.com/companions/9780123725813. This book will appeal to advanced graduate and undergraduate students in animal behaviour, ethology, and behavioral ecology courses.

À propos de l?auteur
After receiving his PhD from the University of Kansas in 1977, Dr. Breed began work as a faculty member at the University of Colorado, Boulder and taught as a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology until his retirement in 2019. He taught courses in general biology, animal behavior, insect biology, and tropical biology. His research program focused on the behavior and ecology of social insects, and he worked on ants, bees, and wasps. He studied many aspects of social behavior, including nestmate recognition, division of labor, the genetics of colony defense, the behavior of defensive bees, and communication during colony defense. Dr. Breed was the Executive Editor of the scientific journals Animal Behaviour from 2006-2009 and Insectes Sociaux from 2014-2018.
