Beschreibung
¿This textbook presents all basic principles of animal behaviour in a clear and concise manner and illustrates them with up-to-date examples. Emphasis is placed on behavioural biology as an integrative discipline of organismic biology, focusing on the adaptive value of behaviours that facilitate resource access, predator avoidance and reproductive success and underlie parental care, all within a comprehensive presentation of social complexity. This new textbook provides a rich resource for students (and teachers) from a wide range of life science disciplines.

He has authored more than 250 peer-reviewed papers in top scientific journals, and authored or edited 15 books and special issues. He was a long-term editor of the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology.
