Exploring animal behavior in laboratory and field : an hypothesis-testing approach to the development, causation, function, and evolution of animal behavior /
Exploring Animal Behavior in Laboratory and Field is designed to provide a variety of exercises that engage students actively in all phases of scientific investigation, from formulating research questions through interpreting and presenting final results. It attempts to share the collective teaching...
