Nobel laureate Niko Tinbergen laid the foundations for the
scientific study of animal behaviour with his work on causation,
development, function and evolution. In this book, an international
cast of leading animal biologists reflect on the enduring
significance of Tinbergen's groundbreaking proposals for modern
behavioural biology. It includes a reprint of Tinbergen's original
article on the famous 'four whys' and a contemporary introduction,
after which each of the four questions are discussed in the light
of contemporary evidence. There is also a discussion of the wider
significance of recent trends in evolutionary psychology and
neuroecology to integrate the 'four whys'. With a foreword by one
of Tinbergen's most prominent pupils, Aubrey Manning, this
wide-ranging book demonstrates that Tinbergen's views on animal
behaviour are crucial for modern behavioural biology. It will
appeal to graduate students and researchers in animal behaviour,
behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology.
