Measuring behaviour: an introductory guide / Martin, P. ; Bateson, P. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Measuring behaviour: an introductory guide Type de document : livre Auteurs : Martin, P. ; Bateson, P. Mention d'édition : 03 éd. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 176 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-82868-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour  Animal psychology  Data analysis  Methodology  Psychology Résumé : Measuring Behaviour has established itself as a standard text. Largely rewritten, updated and reorganised, this third edition is, as before, a guide to the principles and methods of quantitative studies of behaviour, with an emphasis on techniques of observation, recording and analysis. It provides the basic knowledge needed to measure behaviour, doing so in a succinct and easily understood form. The sections on research design and the interpretation and presentation of data have been greatly expanded. Written with brevity and clarity, Measuring Behaviour is, above all, a practical guide book. Aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students in biology and psychology who are about to embark upon quantitative studies of animal and human behaviour, this book provides a concise review of methodology that will be of great value to scientists of all disciplines in which behaviour is measured, including biological anthropology, the social sciences and medicine.

Animal communication networks / P. K. McGregor (2005)  

Public ISBD Titre : Animal communication networks Type de document : livre Auteurs : P. K. McGregor, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 657 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-82361-6 Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-521-82361-7; Voir quelques extraits sur Google Livres : https://books.google.fr/books?id=B58DSFCaQpwC&lpg=PP1&dq=%22Animal%20communication%20networks%22&hl=fr&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=%22Animal%20communication%20networks%22&f=false Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour  Communication between animals  Social behavior in animals Résumé : Most animal communication has evolved and now takes place in the context of a communication network, i.e. several signallers and receivers within communication range of each other. This idea follows naturally from the observation that many signals travel further than the average spacing between animals. This is self evidently true for long-range signals, but at a high density the same is true for short-range signals (e.g. begging calls of nestling birds). This book provides a current summary of research on communication networks and appraises future prospects. It combines information from studies of several taxonomic groups (insects to people via fiddler crabs, fish, frogs, birds and mammals) and several signalling modalities (visual, acoustic and chemical signals). It also specifically addresses the many areas of interface between communication networks and other disciplines (from the evolution of human charitable behaviour to the psychophysics of signal perception, via social behaviour, physiology and mathematical models).

Animal movement: statistical models for telemetry data / Mevin B. Hooten (2017)  

Public ISBD Titre : Animal movement: statistical models for telemetry data Type de document : livre Auteurs : Mevin B. Hooten, Auteur ; Devin S. Johnson, Auteur ; Brett T. McClintock, Auteur ; Juan M. Morales, Auteur Editeur : Boca Raton, Florida : CRC Press Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 306 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4665-8214-9 Prix : 120.00 GBP Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology  Animal behaviour  Statistical methods  Biotelemetry  Spatial data Résumé : The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science, because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations and communities to ecosystems. Rapid improvements in biotelemetry data collection and processing technology have given rise to a variety of statistical methods for characterizing animal movement. The book serves as a comprehensive reference for the types of statistical models used to study individual-based animal movement. Animal Movement is an essential reference for wildlife biologists, quantitative ecologists, and statisticians who seek a deeper understanding of modern animal movement models. A wide variety of modeling approaches are reconciled in the book using a consistent notation. Models are organized into groups based on how they treat the underlying spatio-temporal process of movement. Connections among approaches are highlighted to allow the reader to form a broader view of animal movement analysis and its associations with traditional spatial and temporal statistical modeling. After an initial overview examining the role that animal movement plays in ecology, a primer on spatial and temporal statistics provides a solid foundation for the remainder of the book. Each subsequent chapter outlines a fundamental type of statistical model utilized in the contemporary analysis of telemetry data for animal movement inference. Descriptions begin with basic traditional forms and sequentially build up to general classes of models in each category. Important background and technical details for each class of model are provided, including spatial point process models, discrete-time dynamic models, and continuous-time stochastic process models. The book also covers the essential elements for how to accommodate multiple sources of uncertainty, such as location error and latent behavior states. In addition to thorough descriptions of animal movement models, differences and connections are also emphasized to provide a broader perspective of approaches.

Animal vigilance: monitoring predators and competitors / Guy Beauchamp (2015)  

Public ISBD Titre : Animal vigilance: monitoring predators and competitors Type de document : livre Auteurs : Guy Beauchamp, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam : Academic Press Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 254 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-12-801983-2 Prix : 35.95 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour  Predation  Group size  Population structure  Vigilance (Psychology) Résumé : Animal Vigilance builds on the author’s previous publication with Academic Press (Social Predation: How Group Living Benefits Predators and Prey) by developing several other themes including the development and mechanisms underlying vigilance, as well as developing more fully the evolution and function of vigilance. Animal vigilance has been at the forefront of research on animal behavior for many years, but no comprehensive review of this topic has existed. Students of animal behavior have focused on many aspects of animal vigilance, from models of its adaptive value to empirical research in the laboratory and in the field. The vast literature on vigilance is widely dispersed with often little contact between models and empirical work and between researchers focusing on different taxa such as birds and mammals. Animal Vigilance fills this gap in the available material.
