Now in full colour, this revised and updated edition of Manning and Dawkins' classic text provides a beautifully written introduction to the fundamentals of animal behaviour. Tinbergen's four questions of causation, evolution, development and function form the fundamental framework of the text, illustrated with fascinating examples of complex behavioural mechanisms. The authors provide accounts of all levels of behaviour from the nerve cell to that of the population. The strengths of An Introduction to Animal Behaviour as a textbook include its clear explanations and concise, readable text and the enthusiasm of the authors for their subject"--cProvided by publisher. 0aAnimal behavior. 7aMEDICAL / Veterinary Medicine / General.2bisacsh1 aDawkins, Marian Stamp.423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1113/2011027496-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1113/2011027496-d.html413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1113/2011027496-t.html  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKh591.5iMAN/Ik591.5mMAN/I  00102ddc40708ZOOLOGYaMESbMEScZOOd2023-11-28l0o591.5 MAN/Ip43870r2023-11-28 10:33:10v1095.00w2023-11-28yBKzGL19R1  c43693d43693
