  abstract: This textbook covers the broad sweep of animal behavior from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behavior in conservation. The authors, Michael Breed and Janice Moore, bring almost 60 years of combined experience as university professors to this textbook, much of that teaching animal behavior. An entire chapter is devoted to the vibrant new field of behavior and conservation, including topics such as social behavior and the relationship between parasites, pathogens and behavior. Thoughtful coverage has also been given to foraging behavior, mating and parenting behavior, anti-predator behavior and learning. This text addresses the physiological foundations of behavior in a way that is both accessible and inviting. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with thought-provoking questions. Additionally, special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout. "Animal Behavior" provides a rich resource for students (and professors) from a wide range of life science disciplines. It provides a solid background in the neurophysiological and endocrinological bases of animal behavior as well as exceptionally strong coverage of social behavior. It includes behavior and homeostatic mechanisms, behavior and conservation, and behavioral aspects of disease. It highlights aspects of behavior that relate to domestic animals in particular. Lab manual with fully developed and tested laboratory exercises is available for courses that have labs. This title features companion site for faculty and students to enhance their learning experience.
