Animal Behavior by Shawn E Nordell
EMPHASIZES CONCEPTS. Animal Behavior: Concepts, Methods, and Applications, Third Edition, uses broad organizing concepts to provide a framework for understanding the science of animal behavior. In an engaging, question-driven style, Shawn E. Nordell and Thomas J. Valone offer readers a clear learning progression for understanding and evaluating empirical research examples. FOCUSES ON METHODOLOGY AND THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE. Featured studies illustrate each concept and emphasize the experimental designs and the hypothesis testing methods scientists use to address research questions. HIGHLIGHTS REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS. Concepts are related to real life to help students understand the broader significance of animal behavior research, including applications to human behavior and conservation.
“I'd describe this book as an innovative and thoughtful treatment of animal behavior with a strong emphasis on scientific inquiry to a level that is uncommon in most biology textbooksEach experiment is described with enough detail that the students can really connect the science with the concept.” -Bryan Arnold, Illinois College
Great at leading students through the scientific process, from experimental design to data interpretation. All concepts are anchored to real examples from the literature." Damien I. Elis, University of California - Berkeley
It's a completely different way of presenting material to students - makes them see "science in action: and thus the concepts come alive, rather than appear as dull facts to be memorized. It's very well-written and engaging - students with even the slightest interest in teh field will enjoy reading it! The focus on applications and current research is especially appealing and unique" Miles Engell, North Carolina State University
Nordell & Valone's Animal Behavior highlights major concepts in teh field in an easy to follow, organized manner The details of contemporary research studies are used to emphasize the scientific process and to encourage students to make critical connections between empirical data and broader theoreticla concepts" Dr. Christy Wolovich, Florida Southern College
