«Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach» is John Alcock's ethology textbook, published by Sinauer Associates in hardcover (640 pages, in English).
John Alcock analyzes animal behavior from evolutionary theory, which unifies the different disciplines of ethology. He distinguishes between proximate causes —communication, development, neural control— and ultimate or evolutionary causes, with examples from invertebrates and vertebrates backed by more than 1,300 references.
This sixth edition, published in October 1997, was completely rewritten and incorporates more than a hundred new illustrations. The work is organized into sixteen chapters and two major sections.
A reference work for biology and zoology students, as well as for readers interested in the evolution of behavior.
