This book sets out a framework for adaptive explanations of behavior, and uses it to provide analyses of a range of biological issues such as energetic gain, energy-predation trade-offs, dynamic games, state-dependent life histories, annual routines, and fluctuating environments. The volume gives a definitive account of this exciting new field, summarizing previous research, presenting new material, and suggesting directions for future research. The framework adopted in this book provides...

Book Description

Animals differ from one another in terms of their body size, energy reserves and temperature and the differences in these states affect how different animal behave. In this book, the authors give a definitive account of how adaptive modelling can give insights into how animals cope with for example, trade-offs between energy and predation, fluctuating environments and annual routines. It will inform and stimulate graduate students and researchers...

Review

"This book should be of interest to theoretical ecologists, and students of ecology wishing to develop their modelling skills. It will be a useful focus for an advanced graduate-level class in behavioural or evolutionary ecology." CSZ Bulletin
