The Common Tern
Author: Joanna BurgerPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1583481109
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
For more than twenty years the authors studied the complex breeding and social behavior of colonies of terns. A significant dynamic of their social behavior is their “mobbing” behavior when they aggressively defend their nests against predators and will attack intruders, including human beings. Analysis of this and other behaviors as they affect breeding and population provide fascinating insights in the study of birds.

Behavioural Ecotoxicology
Author: Giacomo Dell'OmoPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471968528
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
Behavioural ecotoxicology is an emerging field dealing with the effects of environmental pollutants on the behaviour of animals. Behavioural techniques derived from experimental psychology, behavioural pharmacology and neurotoxicology are applied to detect and characterise changes in animals living in the environment exposed to various pollutants. Behavioural effects are then interpreted in an ecological context considering the long-term relevance of these changes at both the individual and population level.

Book Description
Advances in the Study of Behavior was initiated over 40 years ago to serve the increasing number of scientists engaged in the study of animal behavior. That number is still expanding. This volume makes another important "contribution to the development of the field" by presenting theoretical ideas and research to those studying animal behavior and to their colleagues in neighboring fields. This volume reflects many of the current themes in animal behavior including the evolution of social behavior, sexual selection and communication. It also reflects controversial topics on which the authors provide interesting, new insights. Advances in the Study of Behavior is now available online at ScienceDirect — full-text online from volume 30 onwards.
