Synopsis

At first glance, studying behaviour is easy, but as every budding ethologist
quickly realises, there are a host of complex practical, methodological and
analytical problems to solve before designing and conducting the study. How do
you choose which species or which behavior to study? What equipment will you
need to observe and record behavior successfully? How do you record data in the
dark, in the wet, or without missing part of the action? How do you analyse and
interpret the data to yield meaningful information?
This new expanded edition of the Handbook of Ethological Methods provides
a complete, step-by-step introduction to ethological methods from topic choice
and behavioral description to data collection and statistical analysis. This book
will be a must for beginning students and experienced researchers studying
animal behavior in the field or laboratory.
