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 behavior1 aDawkins, Marian Stamp  00104070a20000b20000d2019-09-04g367.99l0oQL751 .M36 2012p0000067003r2019-09-04 00:00:00t1v367.99w2019-09-04yOPEN  aVIRTUA40c62268d62274  aVTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2500*2600*3000*5040*5050*5200*6500*7000*9992
