A well balanced, unique mix of ethology and sociobiology, with strong emphasis on the biologic and evolutionary sides of behaviour. It is concise but is easy reading. A must have, for those seriously interested in the field.

This was a required book for my pre-qual exams for ecology and evolutionary biology. This was the behavioral ecology portion. I found this a very easy read with excellent, succinct examples (probably the most important part). I used this book as a self study rather than taking a course with lectures but I am sure this book would go along well with any major lecturing classes.

Great pictures, easy to understand figures, great examples, one of the best textbooks I've read.

I didn't have a choice what book to purchase as this is a required text for a class, but it is a good book. It has great examples and details, and offers additional reading suggestions at the end of each chapter. It is actually a textbook that enhances learning/understanding instead of another textbook that confuses students and sits unread on a bookshelf.

Essential of behavioral college students! The Brazilian Portuguese version has some problems with translation but nothing that prejudices the reading of this book. If you read Portuguese and English, choose the English one!
