Description: The theoretical essays and empirical studies in this book trace the selective function and historical origins of animal behavior. Recognizing that libraries cannot always have a complete set of journals, the editors have compiled important original studies which either represent milestones in the development of ethology or are representative papers about important issues. The book is intended as a supplement for courses in ethology, animal behavior, and comparative psychology at the advanced undergraduate or graudate levels. -- from back cover.
Notes: Companion volume to the author's Control and development of behavior.
