Items related to Social Behaviour in Animals: With Special Reference...
This book aims to be a presentation of a biological approach to the phenomena of social behaviour. This approach is characterized by the need for careful observation of the variety of social phenomena occurring in nature; by emphasis on a balanced study of the three main biological problems - function, causation, evolution; by emphasis on an appropriate sequence of description, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis; and finally by emphasis on the need for continuous re-synthesis. The book covers a range of aspects of animal behaviour, including mating, fighting, family and group life, and social organizations, as well as some unrelated analytical evidence, acquired under such special laboratory conditions it is at present impossible to say how it is related to the normal life of the species concerned. The significance of intraspecific fighting, the causation of threat and courtship behaviour, the functions of releasers and other problems are discussed in detail and an attempt has been made to give them their proper place in the complex system of problems.

Review:
A fitting memorial would be for students and workers in the behavioural sciences to return to Tinbergen's works. Nature; Niko Tinbergen's outstanding contribution to the study of animal behaviour is well demonstrated by his leagacy of exellent books, among which the classic reprint is one of the most influential...remains as valid today as in 1946 BES Bulletin; The book..is obviously a classic and there is no doubt that it has contributed in establishing many a vocation..The present edition benefits from a foreword by Baerends..very few recent textbooks deal with the study of animal behaviour in such an enjoyable way.. Acta O Ecologica

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -HIS book is not intended as an exhaustive review T of facts. Its aim is rather the presentation of a bio logical approach to the phenomena of social behaviour. This type of approach was revived by Lorenz's pioneer studies. It is characterized by emphasis on the need for renewed and careful observation of the huge variety of social phenomena occurring in nature; by emphasis on a balanced study of the three main biological problems function, causation, evolution; by emphasis on an appro priate sequence of description, qualitative analysis, quanti tative analysis; and finally by emphasis on the need for continuous re-synthesis. The character of this approach, combined with the limitations of space, have determined this book's contents. Limits of space led to the omission of a great deal of de scrip tion. Thus, Deegener's voluminous work on fhe multitude of types of animal aggregations has not been discussed. Also, the highly specialized 'states' of social insects have not been treated in detail, since there are excellent books dealing exclusively with them. 188 pp. Englisch.
