Animal Behavior: An Introduction
Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior. It centers on observing animal behavior in natural settings, considering it as an evolved adaptive trait. It typically investigates behavioral processes rather than focusing on specific animal groups. An understanding of animal behavior is crucial in animal training. Within this field, various learning characteristics are studied, including habituation, associative learning, imprinting, and observational learning. Ethology also examines animal communication and emotions. Animal communication involves the transmission of information from one animal or group to another, influencing the behavior of the receivers in the present or future. This textbook attempts to understand the multiple aspects that fall under the discipline of animal behavior and how such concepts have practical applications. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in the field of ethology.
