Reviews"This is a book that attempts to integrate proximate and ultimate mechanisms of animal behavior across different physiological levels and across varying environmental contexts. The breadth and context-dependence of animal behavior makes this a very challenging task, but the authors do a goodjob of integrating both within an organism's organizational structure as well as across proximate and ultimate mechanisms in a compelling way." -Matthew Zipple, Duke University

SynopsisThe leading text in the field shows how researchers use scientific logic to study the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary bases of behavior, with emphasis on how evolutionary theory unifies the various sub-disciplines within animal behavior. It is a comparative and integrative overview of how and why animals as diverse as insects and humans behave the way that they do, linking behaviors to the brain, genes, and hormones, as well as to the surrounding ecological and social environments. The new edition, now in enhanced e-Book format, brings animal behavior and research to life like never before., The leading text in the field, Animal Behavior shows how researchers use scientific logic to study the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary bases of behavior, now with a streamlined presentation and enhanced eBook.Be introduced to a rich array of fascinating examples of animal behavior and uses a vivid narrative voice that conveys the excitement of the subject. The upcoming 12th edition's enhanced eBook will make the subject come alive with numerous video and audio clips that will be presented in-line as students read. The enhanced eBook will also include 50 new interactive figures. Another objective instructors have is to help students master concepts and then demonstrate that mastery. To assist instructors with this goal, the 12th edition enhanced eBook will incorporate all-new inline self-assessments, as well as gradable chapter assessment quizzes.Recognise the rigorous scientific methodology involved in animal behavior research with an all-new "Behind the Scenes" feature, where each chapter will highlight a single research paper and look in-depth at how the research was conducted, taking a balanced view of the ultimate and proximate causes underlying how and why animals behave as they do. Rubenstein is renowned for its empirical presentation of the ultimate causes of animal behavior, and this edition will do an even better job of integrating concepts across levels of scale at the proximate level. This need will be addressed by including an even greater focus on Tinbergen's "Four Questions" and by including more integrative studies that cross levels of analysis. A 10% streamline across the content, a redesign of the chapter summaries and the addition of synthetic sections that link topics across the text and media resources will help you traverse Animal Behaviour with ease.This title is available as an enhanced eBook.
