Hormones and animal social behavior / Adkins-Regan, E. (2005)  

Public ISBD Titre : Hormones and animal social behavior Type de document : livre Auteurs : Adkins-Regan, E. Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2005 Collection : Monographs in behavior and ecology Importance : 411 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-09246-1 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour  Endocrine aspects  Social behavior in animals Résumé : Research into the lives of animals in their natural environments has revealed a rich tapestry of complex social relationships and previously unsuspected social and mating systems. The evolution of this behavior is increasingly well understood. At the same time, laboratory scientists have made significant discoveries about how steroid and peptide hormones act on the nervous system to shape behavior. An exciting and rapidly progressing hybrid zone has developed in which these two fields are integrated, providing a fuller understanding of social behavior and the adaptive functions of hormones. This book is a guide to these fascinating connections between animal social behavior and steroid and peptide hormones--a synthesis designed to make it easier for graduate students and researchers to appreciate the excitement, engage in such integrative thinking, and understand the primary literature. Throughout, Elizabeth Adkins-Regan emphasizes concepts and principles, hypothesis testing, and critical thinking. She raises unanswered questions, providing an unparalleled source of ideas for future research. The chapter sequence is by levels of biological organization, beginning with the behavior and hormones of individuals, proceeding to social relationships and systems, and from there to development, behavioral evolution over relatively short time scales, life histories and their evolution, and finally evolution over longer time scales. The book features studies of a wide variety of wild and domestic vertebrates along with some of the most important invertebrate discoveries.

Economics in nature: social dilemmas, mate choice and biological markets / Noë, R.(Ed.) ; Van Hoof, J.(Ed.) ; Hammerstein, P.(Ed.) (2001)  

Public ISBD Titre : Economics in nature: social dilemmas, mate choice and biological markets Type de document : livre Auteurs : Noë, R.(Ed.) ; Van Hoof, J.(Ed.) ; Hammerstein, P.(Ed.) Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2001 Importance : 276 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-65014-4 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Comparative psychology  Economic aspects  Human behaviour  Social behavior in animals Résumé : Studies of sexual selection, interspecific mutualism, and intraspecific cooperation show that individuals exchange commodities to their mutual benefit. The exchange values of commodities are a source of conflict, and behavioral mechanisms such as partner choice and contest between competitors determines the composition of trading pairs or groups. These "biological markets" can be examined to gain a better understanding of the underlying principles of evolutionary ecology. In this volume scientists from different disciplines combine insights from economics, evolutionary biology, and the social sciences to look at comparative aspects of economic behavior in humans and other animals.

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).
