| Synopsis: |
This specially priced set includes a copy of Breed and Moore, "Animal Behavior" and Tillberg/Breed/Hinners, "Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior". The textbook covers the broad sweep of animal behavior from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behavior in conservation. An entire chapter is devoted to the vibrant new field of behavior and conservation, including topics such as social behavior and the relationship between parasites, pathogens and behavior. Thoughtful coverage has also been given to foraging behavior, mating and parenting behavior, anti-predator behavior and learning. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with thought-provoking questions. Additionally, special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout. The laboratory manual guides students through the diverse and fascinating fields of behavioral and ethological studies, employing a wide array of organisms as model systems for the study of behavior. Students participate in the development of hypothesis and turn the recording, analysis, and interpretation of data into an active and engaging process.This textbook provides a solid background in the neurophysiological and endocrinological bases of animal behavior. Chapters cover behavior and homeostatic mechanisms, behavior and conservation, and behavioral aspects of disease. Lab manual includes fully developed and tested laboraty exercises available for courses that have labs. There is a companion site for faculty and students to enhance their learning experience. |
