Animal Behavior, third edition, covers animal behaviour from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behaviour in conservation. The book's authors, Michael Breed and Janice Moore, bring almost 60 years of combined experience as university professors, much of that teaching animal behaviour. Chapters cover this social behaviour and the relationship between parasites, pathogens and behaviour. Thoughtful coverage has also been given to foraging behaviour, mating and parenting behaviour, anti-predator behaviour, and learning. The book addresses the physiological foundations of behaviour in a way that is both accessible and inviting, with each chapter beginning with learning objectives and ending with thought-provoking questions. Additionally, special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout, making this book an essential work for students and academics seeking a foundation in the field.
