Under the editorial guidance of one of the world's leading ethologists, Animal Behavior Abstracts is an indispensable resource for scientists in behavioral and related studies. Significant papers relevant to animal behavior, with subjects ranging from neurophysiology to behavioral ecology, from genetics to applied ethology, are covered. Animal Behavior Abstracts surveys all of the important journals dealing with the biology of particular taxonomic groups. And researchers will find both field and laboratory inquiries summarized. Editorial Advisor P.P.G. Bateson is a past president of the Association for the Study of Animal Behavior as well as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Currently Professor of Ethology at the University of Cambridge, Dr. Bateson co-edited the first eight volumes of Perspectives in Ethology (Plenum Press). His editorial guidance ensures the continued importance of this journal to the field of animal behavior.
