Since the last edition of this definitive textbook was published in 2013, much has happened in the field of animal behavior. In this fourth edition, Lee Alan Dugatkin draws on cuttingedge new work not only to update and expand on the studies presented, but also to reinforce the previous editions focus on ultimate and proximate causation, as well as the books unique emphasis on natural selection, learning, and cultural transmission. The result is a stateoftheart textbook on animal behavior that explains underlying concepts in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible to students. Each chapter in the book provides a sound theoretical and conceptual basis upon which the empirical studies rest. A completely new feature in this edition are the Cognitive Connection boxes in Chapters 217, designed to dig deep into the importance of the cognitive underpinnings to many types of behaviors. Each box focuses on a specific issue related to cognition and the particular topic covered in that chapter.As Principles of Animal Behavior makes clear, the tapestry of animal behavior is created from weaving all of these components into a beautiful whole. With Dugatkins exquisitely illustrated, comprehensive, and uptodate fourth edition, we are able to admire that beauty anew.

This book is a solid read for anyone interested in animal behavior. I found the layout to be quite engaging and the content is comprehensive. Just wish it had a few more case studies to dive deeper into certain topics.

Perfect for my studies in animal behavior
This book has been an essential resource for my graduate studies! The illustrations and case studies help clarify complex concepts. I appreciate how the 4th edition updates previous research findings, making it relevant to today’s discussions.

Packed with info, but hard to navigate
While the 'Principles of Animal Behavior' 4th edition has a lot of amazing information, I found it a bit overwhelming at times. The chapters feel dense and it took me some time to find what I was looking for. Still, the content is valuable for my studies.

Great textbook for psychology students
I bought this 4th edition of 'Principles of Animal Behavior' for my animal psychology course and it's been super helpful. The explanations are clear and the examples really bring the concepts to life. Plus, I love the illustrations included throughout.

Disappointing quality for a new book
I was excited to get this edition, but when it arrived, the cover was slightly bent and the pages had a few creases. For a new book, I expected better quality. The content is good, but the condition was a letdown.
