Rezension

From the reviews:

This is a well-organized volume about animal behaviour and behavioural ecology. The editor of this book, Dr. Peter Kappeler, is a prominent primate researcher who has edited several books that have had a strong impact on primate research. (...) I recommend this book to all students and researchers studying the behavioural ecology of primates.

Primates, 2010

“This work is a large, weighty, informative … set of edited chapters on many aspects of animal behavior. Kappeler … tried to unify the 21 chapters by asking authors to focus on mechanisms and evolution. … All provide thorough reviews and formidable reference lists. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.” (J. A. Mather, Choice, Vol. 48 (3), November, 2010)
