![Animal Behavior: How and Why Animals Do the Things They Do [3-volume set]](https://www.vet-library.com/wp-content/uploads/Animal-behavior-how-and-why.jpg)
Description
The three volumes of Animal Behavior: How and Why Animals Do the Things They Do cover the breadth of the field, addressing causation, development, function, and evolution in a wide range of animals, from invertebrates to humans. Inspired by Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen’s work, the first two volumes follow Tinbergen’s four classic questions of animal behavior, while the third volume supplies integrated examples of Tinbergen’s investigative process applied in specific cases. Written in an engaging, accessible manner ideal for college students as well as general audiences, this evidence-based collection provides a fascinating tour of animal behaviorists’ findings, such as how animal communication can be truthful or deceitful, the deadly serious business behind clashes in the “battle of the sexes,” and how documentation of animal behavior can lead to a deeper understanding of human behavior. Each chapter provides both historical background and information about current developments in animal behavior knowledge. 1,250 p.
