I'm in the process of choosing a book (or books) for Animal Behavior. The
only recent ones on my desk are those by Alcock and by Siiter. Anyone have
any preferences? Any other good ones out there? I've used Alcock before
(many years ago) and thought it was OK but a little heavier on invertebrates
than Psychology majors might like. I'm also considering ordering Dawkins'
"The Selfish Gene" as an entertaining and lucid intro to the theory of
sociobiology. I was really disappointed to see that Vincent Dethier's "To
Know a Fly" is out of print. I'd have loved to order it for the optional
Animal Behavior Lab course.
