About the Book

"John Alcocks Standardwerk Animal Behavior - jetzt in Form eines vAllig neuen Lehrbuchtyps, der speziell fA1/4r die Studiensituation im deutschsprachigen Raum konzipiert wurde.*" Das erfolgreiche Lehrbuch "Animal Behavior" stellt die verschiedenen Aspekte tierischen Verhaltens in einen evolutionsbiologischen Rahmen. Es behandelt die grundlegenden Mechanismen des Verhaltens ebenso wie seine stammesgeschichtlichen Ursachen und betont die Bedeutung der Evolutionstheorie als einigendes Element der unterschiedlichen Teildisziplinen der Verhaltensbiologie. Wichtige Konzepte werden sowohl an Wirbellosen wie an Wirbeltieren verdeutlicht. Alcocks klarer und engagierter Schreibstil macht es auch AnfAngern trotz der stark konzeptionellen Ausrichtung des Werkes leicht, den Stoff zu verstehen. Die nun vorliegende achte Auflage des Standardwerkes wurde vAllig neu geschrieben. Zahlreiche Erkenntnisse aus jA1/4ngster Zeit haben darin Eingang gefunden. VerstAndnisfragen direkt an den entsprechenden Textstellen regen dazu an, sich mit dem gerade gelesenen Stoff auseinanderzusetzen. Die beiden Kapitel A1/4ber die EinflA1/4sse von Vererbung und Umwelt auf die Entwicklung wurden vereint, um zu verdeutlichen, dass Entwicklungsprozesse sowohl von genetischen als auch von Umweltfaktoren abhAngen. Der Autor fA1/4hrt dem Leser immer wieder vor Augen, welche Rolle der AoeberprA1/4fung von Theorien und Hypothesen zukommt und dass wissenschaftliche Schlussfolgerungen immer nur vorA1/4bergehend gA1/4ltig sind. So werden in diesem Buch auch kontrovers diskutierte und bisher ungelAste Probleme angesprochen. "* Von Studierenden der Biowissenschaften wird heute erwartet, dass sie im Laufe ihres Studiums englischeLiteratur problemlos lesen und verstehen und schlieAlich auch Forschungsergebnisse auf Englisch kommunizieren kAnnen. Den Weg dorthin bereitet der neu entwickelte Lehrbuchtyp Easy Reading - Das Original mit Aoebersetzungshilfen. So bietet die vorliegende Ausgabe von "Animal Behavior" in einem zusammen: den englischen Originaltext deutsche Aoebersetzungshilfen in der Randspalte deutschsprachige VerstAndnisfragen / Aoebungsaufgaben ein englisch-deutsches Glossar deutsch- und englischsprachige Kapitelzusammenfassungen und auf der Website www.elsevier.de/alcock: eine Aoebersicht A1/4ber die im Buch erwAhnten Arten (deutsch, englisch, lateinisch) Internetlinks fA1/4r Deutschland, A-sterreich und die Schweiz Wesentlicher Zusatznutzen der "Easy Reading"-Ausgabe ist, das Lesen des englischen Grundtextes zu erleichtern und in die spezielle wissenschaftliche Terminologie einzufA1/4hren. Wer dieses Buch durcharbeitet, steigert somit seine fachliche und seine sprachliche Kompetenz zugleich.
This new edition of "Animal Behavior" has been completely rewritten with coverage of much recent work in animal behavior, resulting in a thoroughly up-to-date text. Notable is the inclusion, for the first time, of discussion questions embedded in the text itself, rather than appended to the end of each chapter. This format is designed to encourage students to reflect on the material they have just digested while also making it easier for instructors to promote a problem-solving approach to the subject in their classes. Another key organizational improvement is the consolidation of what had been two separate chapters on the genetic and environmental influences on development. By combining this material, thenew Chapter 3 makes a stronger, more tightly argued case for the view that development is a truly interactive process codependent on both genetic and environmental factors. Like previous editions, the book shows how evolutionary biologists analyze all aspects of behavior. It is distinguished by its balanced treatment of both the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary causes of behavior, and stresses the utility of evolutionary theory in unifying the different behavio
