  • eBook:Insect Behavior

    Insect Behavior

    Robert W. Matthews; Janice R. Matthews
    978-90-481-2389-6
    2010
    Edition 2
    • Provides the only comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts of animal behavior as they relate to insects (even though insects make up an estimated ¾ of all multicellular animals on earth!). For teachers and students, this unified approach is a major improvement over the use of an assemblage of journal reprints
    • Unique in its combination of a comparative evolutionary approach that shows how major behavioural systems function and more detailed case studies—26 of them; 8 new to this edition—of field and laboratory investigations that show how behavioural research is and can be conducted. Both proximate and ultimate mechanisms are discussed. This approach offers the reader a broad base for understanding this field
    • Color plates (45, all new) and 173 black and white figures, including many original drawings and photographs (73 new to this edition), all with detailed captions, make the book a valuable reference for students and specialists alike
    • Although some background in entomology or animal behavior is helpful, an in-depth knowledge is not required to understand the material
    • Straightforward writing style, specialized terms are defined at first mention, and both common and scientific names are used
    • Accessible and informative for non-specialists with an interest in the principles of insect behavior in addition to its value for graduate students and working professionals
