Overview
The most balanced, comprehensive and current animal behavior text available.
Principles of Animal Behavior, second edition, builds on the first edition’s reputation as a contemporary and forward-looking text with several distinct features:
- balanced coverage of proximate and ultimate factors, bolstered by a significant expansion of proximate coverage in the new edition
- thorough coverage of phylogeny and animal behavior has been added to the book’s integrated view of natural selection, learning, and cultural transmission
- a focus on current research and the process of science through interviews with prominent researchers at the end of every chapter.
Show your students the behaviors they’re learning about.
Principles of Animal Behavior is accompanied by the Norton Animal Behavior DVD, a brand new, totally unique instructor resource of over 200 spectacular and educational film clips from across the animal kingdom. In addition to providing clips of the behaviors discussed in the text, the DVD makes it easy for you to go beyond the text by including film clips from the BBC and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. James Hare of the University of Manitoba draws on his classroom and field experience in selecting the clips and authoring a booklet of short descriptions to accompany the DVD.
