The aim of Advances in the Study of Behavior remains as it has been since the series began: to serve the increasing number of scientists who are engaged in the study of animal behavior by presenting their theoretical ideas and research to their colleagues and to those in neighboring fields. We hope that the series will continue its "contribution to the development of the field," as its intended role was phrased in the Preface to the first volume in 1965. Since that time, traditional areas of animal behavior have achieved new vigor by the links they have formed with related fields and...

This book illustrates how the profound changes in our understanding of evolution have influenced behavioral research. Its chapters span both studies of how behavior itself has evolved, dealing with topics such as comparative studies, the genetics of behavior, speciation, and the evolution of sociality and of intelligence, and also the adaptiveness that this evolution has brought about, with treatment of mating and fighting strategies, and theories of kinship and altruism.

Essentials of Animal Behaviour is an introduction to the study of animal behavior that is primarily intended for first- or second-year undergraduates. The book aims to get across the basic principles of the subject as briefly and lucidly as possible with the aid of carefully selected examples from both recent and classic research, together with numerous illustrations. The text will stimulate readers with its active and exciting treatment of the research, and will lay a solid foundation on which further study may be based. Its simple and readable style, helped by an extensive glossary, will...
