About The Book
Now in full color, the revised and updated edition of "An Introduction to Animal Behavior" by Aubrey Manning and Nicholas Dawkins offers a beautifully written and accessible introduction to the fascinating world of animal behavior. This sixth edition presents an engaging overview of the complexities of animal behavior, from the basics of individual actions to the intricate dynamics of entire populations.
The book is structured around Tinbergen’s four fundamental questions—causation, evolution, development, and function—and uses vivid, real-world examples to illustrate these principles. Whether describing the social behavior of wolves, the nectar-seeking habits of bumblebees, or the predatory strategies of mongooses and cheetahs, the text highlights the diverse and complex mechanisms behind animal actions.
The strengths of this book lie in its clear explanations, concise yet comprehensive text, and the authors’ enthusiasm for the subject. Whether you are a student or a general reader, "An Introduction to Animal Behavior" provides a rich, insightful foundation in understanding how animals behave and why.
