Humans live in large and extensive societies and spend much of
their time interacting socially. Likewise, most other animals also
interact socially. Social behaviour is of constant fascination to
biologists and psychologists of many disciplines, from behavioural
ecology to comparative biology and sociobiology. The two major
approaches used to study social behaviour involve either the
mechanism of behaviour - where it has come from and how it has
evolved, or the function of the behaviour studied. With guest
articles from leaders in the field, theoretical foundations along
with recent advances are presented to give a truly
multidisciplinary overview of social behaviour, for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students. Topics include aggression,
communication, group living, sexual behaviour and co-operative
breeding. With examples ranging from bacteria to social mammals and
humans, a variety of research tools are used, including candidate
gene approaches, quantitative genetics, neuro-endocrine studies,
cost-benefit and phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary game
theory.
