商品簡介
Much has changed in the science of animal behavior since the 2009 second edition, says Dugatkin (biology, U. of Louisville, Kentucky), so he has updated and expanded his beginning textbook, and reinforced the focus on ultimate and proximate causation and emphasis on natural selection, learning, and cultural transmission. Indeed the material on proximate causes has outgrown a single chapter and now commands one chapter on hormones and neurobiology and a second on molecular genetics and development. Other topics include the evolution of behavior, sexual selection, cooperation, communication, and animal personalities. Highly and colorfully illustrated.
