Some of the most exciting recent advances in animal behaviour have
occurred at the interface between that subject and the study of
evolution. This book, written by experts in this area, illustrates
how the profound changes in our understanding of evolution have
influenced behavioural research. Its chapters span both studies of
how behaviour itself has evolved, dealing with topics such as
comparative studies, the genetics of behaviour, speciation and the
evolution of sociality and of intelligence, and also the
adaptiveness which this evolution has brought about, with treatment
of mating and fighting strategies, and theories of kinship and
altruism. The Evolution of Behaviour should be valuable to senior
undergraduate and graduate students of biology and psychology,
especially those studying animal behaviour, behavioural ecology,
sociobiology, evolution, ecology and environmental biology.
