Description

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.Behaviour and Evolution will be invaluable to senior undergraduate and graduate students of biology and psychology, especially those studying animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, sociobiology, evolution, ecology and environmental biology.
