About the Book: Essentials of Animal Behaviour
Animal behaviour is the scientific study of everything animals do, whether the
animals are single-celled organisms, invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds, or mammals. It involves investigating the relationship of animals to
their physical environment as well as to other organisms, and includes such
topics as how animals find and defend resources, avoid predators, choose mates
and reproduce, and care for their young. This book provides a broad overview of
the current state of animal behaviour for undergraduate and postgraduate courses
in zoology, biology, veterinary science and other allied fields. It provides all
the basic concepts and latest information on animal behaviour.
