About this title

Book Description

This well-illustrated, lucid and readable text introduces animal behaviour in all its fascinating complexity. Focusing on the individual, its broad biological approach links physiology, ethology and comparative psychology from the level of nerve cells to that of the population. Its new, more user-friendly organisation and attractive format, together with increased coverage of genetics, development and evolution represents an excellent introduction to the topic for all students of animal behaviour and psychology and their teachers.
