Richly informed by progress in many other disciplines, such as sensory physiology, genetics and evolutionary theory, it marks the emergence of behav-ioural ecology as a fully fledged discipline..... This is a marvellous book, written in a lucid style. A must-read for those in the field, it is also a cornucopia of new thinking for anyone interested in evolution and behaviour.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eManfred Milinski, \u003c\/i\u003e Nature, 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis textbook helped to define the field of Behavioural Ecology.
