Description

Principles of Animal Behavior (4th Edition) remains the definitive textbook for understanding the complex actions and interactions of the animal kingdom. In this updated edition, author Lee Alan Dugatkin incorporates cutting-edge research to expand upon foundational studies, reinforcing the text’s core focus on ultimate and proximate causation. The book stands out for its unique emphasis on the interplay between natural selection, learning, and cultural transmission, presenting a state-of-the-art overview that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible to students.

Each chapter provides a robust theoretical and conceptual basis supported by detailed empirical studies. A significant new feature of the fourth edition is the introduction of “Cognitive Connection” boxes in Chapters 2 through 17. These sections are designed to explore the cognitive underpinnings of various behaviors, focusing on specific issues related to animal cognition within the context of each chapter’s topic. By weaving these diverse biological components together, the text offers a comprehensive look at the intricate tapestry of animal behavior.
