Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior, Second Edition, the latest update since the 2010 release, builds upon the solid foundation established in the first edition. Updated sections include Host-parasite interactions, Vertebrate social behavior, and the introduction of ‘overview essays’ that boost the book's comprehensive detail. The structure for the work is modified to accommodate a better grouping of subjects. Some chapters have been reshuffled, with section headings combined or modified.
Readership: Upper-undergraduate students and above, researchers in biology, psychology, veterinary science, and medicine (especially, psychiatry and neurology). Professionals in fields related to animal behavior (e.g. conservation biologists, zookeepers, park rangers, animal trainers, veterinarians, researchers and practitioners in pest management, nature photographers).
