Animal Behavior 12th Revised edition [Mīkstie vāki]

This is a book that attempts to integrate proximate and ultimate mechanisms of animal behavior across different physiological levels and across varying environmental contexts. The breadth and context-dependence of animal behavior makes this a very challenging task, but the authors do a good job of integrating both within an organism's organizational structure as well as across proximate and ultimate mechanisms in a compelling way." -Matthew Zipple, Duke University [ The new edition of Animal Behavior] integrates learning objectives and multimedia files to supplement the theory and research findings of the neural physiology behind animal behavior." -Christine Brodsky, Pittsburg State University Rubenstein's Animal Behavior provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of animal behavior from every conceivable angle. It provides specific examples to contextualize the science behind particular behaviors, while remaining interesting and easy to understand." -Amanda A. Rollins, Wilmington College The data-driven figures are priceless. The focus on scientific investigations is magnificent. And the maintenance of the rich tradition of having an extensive bibliography of peer-reviewed studies is without equal." -Arshad Khan, University of Texas at El Paso
