An Introduction to Animal Behaviour Fifth Edition Aubrey Manning & Marian Stamp Dawkins

Using its powerful beak, a lorikeet gently preens its mate’s feathers; young cheetahs rest together in the shade; fireflies signal 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 static postures and active movements, all the noises and smells and changes of colour and shape that characterize animal life. Taking the organization of behaviour within the individual animal as its core, this is a clear, concise and readable foray into the fascinating world of animal behaviour, in terms of 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 edition makes it an excellent choice for all students of animal behaviour and psychology and their teachers. ISBN: 9788175961029
