Since the last edition of this definitive textbook was published in
2013, much has happened in the field of animal behavior. In this
fourth edition, Lee Alan Dugatkin draws on cutting-edge, new work
not only to update and expand on the studies presented, but also to
reinforce the previous editions' focus on ultimate and proximate
causation, as well as the book's unique emphasis on natural
selection, learning, and cultural transmission. The result is a
state-of-the art textbook on animal behavior that explains
underlying concepts in a way that is both scientifically rigorous
and accessible to students. Each chapter in the book provides a
sound theoretical and conceptual basis upon which the empirical
studies rest. A completely new feature in this edition are the
Cognitive Connection boxes in Chapters 2-17, designed to dig deep
into the importance of the cognitive underpinnings to many types of
behaviors. Each box focuses on a specific issue related to
cognition and the particular topic covered in that chapter. As
Principles of Animal Behavior makes clear, the tapestry of animal
behavior is created from weaving all of these components into a
beautiful whole. With Dugatkin's exquisitely illustrated,
comprehensive, and up-to-date fourth edition, we are able to admire
that beauty anew.
