Covering almost every aspect of animal behaviour, this dictionary includes terms from the related fields of ecology, physiology and psychology. The entries are backed up by specific examples, covering various aspects of behaviour, from aggression to courtship. It is useful for students of biology and psychology, naturalists, and bird-watchers.
This text aims to provide a balanced and integrated introductory treatment of animal behaviour. It examines the evolution of animal behaviour, mechanisms of behaviour and understanding complex behaviour, and each chapter includes revision aids such as boxed examples and points to remember.
Do animals have thoughts and feelings? Could robots have minds like our own? Can we ever know, or will the answer be forever out of our reach? David McFarland explores the answers to these questions, drawing not only on the philosophy of mind, but also on developments in artificial intelligence, robots, and the science of animal behaviour.
