Providing a unique opportunity to reassess the cause and functions of aggression in the House Mouse, this innovative book brings together the results of extensive research into the habits of this species.
The insights gained are of significant relevance to our understanding of the role of intraspecific aggressiveness plays in shaping social structure.
This book is of interest to biologists and psychologists interested in animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, evolution, physiological psychology, psychobiology and psychogenetics. It is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in the subtleties between physiology, behaviour and evolution.
A prolific contributor to literature on the study of aggression, Paul Brain has a B.Sc. and Ph.D in Zoology from the University of Hull, and is currently Reader in Zoology at the University of Wales.
Stefano Parmigiani has degrees in Natural Sciences and Biological Sciences and is the Professor of Biology at the University of Parma.
Danilo Mainardi has degrees in Biological Sciences and Zoology and is Professor of Ethology at the University of Parma.
