An undergraduate text for courses in animal behavior, comparative psychology, and behavioral psychology, presenting a mixture of research and theory along with classic studies of animal behavior. Short discussions of the history of the field are spread out over several chapters, and separate chapters cover social, courtship, and pheromonal communication, as well as new research in animal learning and cognition. Presentation of neural and chemical mechanisms is delayed until late in the text, after coverage of evolutionary theory, behavioral genetics, and functional behavior patterns. Other features include chapter-ending sections on aspects of human evolution, summaries of past and present perspectives on chapter material, and boxes on unusual adaptations, plus chapter summaries and key terms. B&w photos and diagrams don't overwhelm the text. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Comparative Animal Behavior meets the need for a ?student friendly? and comprehensive text in the rapidly expanding field of animal behavior. It achieves a good balance between recent, ?hot? research and classic studies of animal behavior, in an organized and engaging manner. Comparative Animal Behavior surpasses other texts in its coverage of the rapidly developing area of evolutionary psychology and differs from standard texts in its organizational approach which is designed to draw students into the material in a way that no other animal behavior textbook does. Brief, rather than extensive, discussions of history are presented throughout the text to hold students interest. The amount of material integrating psychological and biological approaches surpasses the competition. Comparative Animal Behavior also responds to recent shifts in research and theoretical interests by providing current information in the areas of animal learning and cognition, parasitism, and mutualism. Maier describes his book as a ?labor of love,? that reflects a life-long interest in the subject and over thirty-five years of teaching experience. Codice articolo CIN0205199852G
