From the Back Cover
Drawing extensively on examples and experimental work, Animal Behavior, second edition, makes animal behavior accessible even to readers who know only the rudiments of biology. Dr. Ridley structures his book around the underlying questions of animal behavior: What are the mechanisms that control behavior? Why or how are they useful? How did they develop? What is their evolutionary history? Logically organized individual chapters cover specific elements of animal behavior. Each chapter begins by laying the foundation for discussion and ends with a summary and suggestions for further reading.
