Synopses & Reviews
This anthology contains 33 articles (9 new to this edition) published since 1977 in American Scientist, the journal of the scientific society Sigma Xi. Articles illustrate how behaviorists think about and conduct their research, and provide greater insight into the behavior of selected vertebrate and invertebrate species than is possible in most textbook accounts. While sequenced particularly to complement John Alcock's Animal Behavior, Seventh Edition, this collection of readings will enhance courses based on other textbooks as well.
