Animal Behavior
Revised edition of: Animal behavior: an evolutionary approach / John Alcock. 10th ed. c2013.
Comparative Social Evolution
A comparative view of the major features of animal social life and the evolution of cooperative group living.

Animal Behavior
One of the major challenges instructors face in Animal Behavior is engaging with an audience that has a wide range of backgrounds and academic aspirations. Many students taking this course are pre-meds and fail to see the relevance of the subject to their future careers. Rubenstein's Animal Behavior, the best-selling text in the market, addresses this challenge by introducing students to a rich array of fascinating examples of animal behavior and uses a vivid narrative voice that conveys the excitement of the subject. To further address this course issue, the upcoming 12th edition's enhanced eBook will make the subject come alive with numerous video and audio clips that will be presented in-...
Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology
Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology presents a comprehensive treatment of theevolutionary and ecological processes shaping behavior across a wide array of organisms and a diverse set of behaviors and is suitable as a graduate-level text and as a sourcebook for professional scientists.
Perspectives on Animal Behavior
This work contains both contemporary research findings and historical experimental evidence. It includes the topic animal awareness, and there is requisite background material on genetics and other basic molecular topics.
Animal Behavior
"The leading text in the field, Animal Behavior shows how researchers use scientific logic to study the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary bases of behavior. The 12th edition provides a comparative and integrative overview of how and why animals as diverse as insects and humans behave the way that they do, linking behaviors to the brain, genes, and hormones, as well as to the surrounding ecological and social environments"--
Lizard Ecology
The foraging mode of lizards has been a central theme in guiding research in lizard biology for three decades. Foraging mode has been shown to be a pervasive evolutionary force molding the diet, ecology, behavior, anatomy, biomechanics, life history, and physiology of lizards. This 2007 volume reviews the knowledge on the effects of foraging mode on these and other organismal systems to show how they have evolved, over a wide taxonomic survey of lizard groups. The reviews presented here reveal the continuous nature of foraging strategies in lizards and snakes, providing the reader with a review of the field, and will equip researchers with fresh insights and directions for the sit-and-wait vs. wide foraging paradigm. This will serve as a reference book for herpetologists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists and animal behaviorists.
An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology
The third edition of this successful textbook looks again at the influence of natural selection on behavior - an animal's struggle to survive by exploiting resources, avoiding predators, and maximizing reproductive success. In this edition, new examples are introduced throughout, many illustrated with full color photographs. In addition, important new topics are added including the latest techniques of comparative analysis, the theory and application of DNA fingerprinting techniques, extensive new discussion on brood parasite/host coevolution, the latest ideas on sexual selection in relation to disease resistance, and a new section on the intentionality of communication. Written in the lucid...
