Animal Behavior

Animal Behavior; Second Edition; covers the broad sweep of animal behavior from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behavior in conservation. The authors; Michael Breed and Janice Moore; bring almost 60 years of combined experience as university professors to this textbook; much of that teaching animal behavior. 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 has also been given to foraging behavior; mating and parenting behavior; anti-predator behavior; and learning. This text addresses the physiological foundations of behavior in a way that is both accessible and inviting; with each chapter beginning with learning objectives and ending with thought-provoking questions.Additionally; special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout.
