Neues e-Book „Elsevier Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior”

Aus der Verlagsbeschreibung:

The ‘Encyclopaedia of Animal Behaviour’, third edition, in a four-volume set, is a unique, carefully compiled collection of concise essays on all aspects of animal behaviour, written by experts and carefully edited to ensure readability and clarity. Animal behaviour is usually defined as what animals do, i.e. their movements. We can ask how they move (i.e. in terms of the physiological and neurological causes of movement) and why they move. To answer this latter question, behavioural scientists generally draw on evolutionary explanations. The encyclopaedia attaches equal importance to these ‘how’ (proximal) and ‘why’ (ultimate) explanations of animal behaviour. The third edition updates and expands on the previous version to cover all key topics in the field.
