Phylogenies and the Comparative Method in Animal Behaviour by Emilia P Martins

Phylogenies and the Comparative Method in Animal Behaviour by Emilia P Martins

This book considers the impact of modern phylogenetic comparative methods on the study of animal behaviour. It discusses the main issues that need to be considered in the design of a comparative study, and reviews statistical methods that are proposed for such research. Possible differences between the evolution of behaviour and the evolution of morphology using some of these modern techniques, comparative data, and phylogenies, are also considered.

"Should prove insightful for anyone studying animal behavior, behavioral ecology, neuroethology, sociobiology, and for biologists in general"--BIOSIS "That it is crucial reading and should be owned by every ethologist interested in comparing the behavior of different taxa goes without saying. But it should also be read by any other '-ologist' who believes that, when applied appropriately, thinking phylogenetically is a crucial component of modern organismal biology."--Northwest Science "Should prove insightful for anyone studying animal behavior, behavioral ecology, neuroethology, sociobiology, and for biologists in general."--BIOSIS
