Advances in the Study of Behavior, Volume 29 continues to serve scientists across a wide spectrum of disciplines.
Focusing on new theories and research developments with respect to behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, and
comparative psychology, these volumes foster cooperation and communications in these dense fields.
The aim of Advances in the Study of Behavior remains as it has been since the series began: to serve the increasing
number of scientists who are engaged in the study of animal behavior by presenting their theoretical ideas and
research to their colleagues and to those in neighboring fields. We hope that the series will continue its "contribution
to the development of the field," as its intended role was phrased in the Preface to the first volume in 1965.
Since that time, traditional areas of animal behavior have achieved new vigor by the links they have formed with
related fields and by the closer relationship that now exists between those studying animal and human subjects.
