Wolves excitedly greet each other as members of the pack come
together; a bumble bee uses its long tongue to reach the nectar at
the base of a foxglove flower; a mongoose swiftly and deftly bites
its prey to death; young cheetahs rest quietly together, very close
to sleep. Now in full colour, this revised and updated edition of
Manning and Dawkins' classic text provides a beautifully written
introduction to the fundamentals of animal behaviour. Tinbergen's
four questions of causation, evolution, development and function
form the fundamental framework of the text, illustrated with
fascinating examples of complex behavioural mechanisms. The authors
provide accounts of all levels of behaviour from the nerve cell to
that of the population. The strengths of An Introduction to Animal
Behaviour as a textbook include its clear explanations and concise,
readable text and the enthusiasm of the authors for their subject.
