Cephalopod Behaviour Paperback / softback
by Roger T. Hanlon, John B. (University of Cambridge) Messenger
Paperback / softback
Description
With their large brains, elaborate sense organs and complex behaviour, cephalopods are among the world's most highly evolved invertebrates.
This second edition summarises the wealth of exciting new research data stemming from over five hundred papers published since the first volume appeared.
It adopts a comparative approach to causation, function, development and evolution as it explores cephalopod behaviour in natural habitats and the laboratory.
Extensive colour and black-and-white photography illustrates various aspects of cephalopod behaviour to complement the scientific analysis.
Covering the major octopus, squid and cuttlefish species, as well as the shelled Nautilus, this is an essential resource for undergraduate and advanced students of animal behaviour, as well as researchers new to cephalopods, in fields such as neuroscience and conservation biology.
By highlighting the gaps in current knowledge, the text looks to inform and to stimulate further study of these enigmatic and beautiful animals.
