Life, the Science of Biology

David E. Sadava

This edition has been completely rewritten and reorganized to include discoveries in the field and over 100 new illustrations. The author analyzes all aspects of the subject, stressing the utility of evolutionary theory in unifying different behavioural disciplines. However, the book treats both the ranging proximate mechanisms and the evolutionary, or ultimate causes of behaviour. The first chapter introduces the distinction between the two, and the rest of the text is organized into two main sections devoted to each. Examples are drawn from studies of invertibrates and vertibrates, and are supported by more than 1300 reference citations, many to recent articles. The book also emphasizes the tentative nature of scientific conclusions and identifies controversial and unresolved issues.

Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach, 6th Edition

This fourth edition of "Animal Behaviour" shows how evolutionary biologists analyze all elements that go into the study of animal behaviour. The book contains a balanced treatment of both the underlying mechanisms and the evolutionary causes of behaviour. Examples are drawn evenly from both vertebrates and invertebrates, using over 800 references, many of them from publications that have appeared in the last three years.

Animal behavior: An evolutionary approach

ALCOCK, John

This new edition of Animal Behavior maintains the organizational structure of previous editions, but has been completely rewritten with coverage of much recent work in animal behaviour, resulting in a thoroughly up-to-date text. Notable is the inclusion, for the first time, of discussion questions embedded in the text itself, rather than appended to the end of each chapter. This format is designed to encourage students to reflect on the material they have just digested while also making it easier for instructors to promote a problem-solving approach to the subject. Like previous editions, the book shows how evolutionary biologists analyze all aspects of behaviour. It is distinguished by its balanced treatment of both the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary causes of behaviour, and stresses the utility of evolutionary theory in unifying the different behavioural disciplines.

Animal Behavior, 6/e has been reorganized to include many of the field's discoveries and over 100 new illustrations. Professor Alcock analyses all aspects of his subject, stressing the utility of evolutionary theory in unifying different behavioural disciplines.

Molecular evolution

AYALA, Francisco J.

Ecology is probably the oldest science. Soon after our primitive ancestors had their first conscious thoughts, they must have realized the value of knowing where they might find palatable and cascabel animals, and where they might be safe form ht enemies that sought to attack them.
