Behavioural Ecology

Intended for graduate and upper level undergraduate courses in
behavioural ecology where students are already familiar with the
basic ideas, this book continues to define the subject. A
completely new set of contributions has been brought together once
more to take account of the many exciting new developments in the
field. Each chapter presents a balanced view of the subject,
integrating a clear exposition of the theory with a critical
discussion of how predictions have been tested by experiments and
comparative studies. In addition, the book points to unreconciled
issues and possible future developments. Edited by two of the most
highly regarded experts in the field, this new volume contains
contributions from an international authorship and continues the
tradition of clarity and accessibility established by the three
previous editions.
