orBe introduced to a rich array of fascinating examples of animal behavior and uses a vivid narrative voice that conveys the excitement of the subject. The upcoming 12th edition's enhanced eBook will make the subject come alive with numerous video and audio clips that will be presented in-line as students read. The enhanced eBook will also include 50 new interactive figures. Another objective instructors have is to help students master concepts and then demonstrate that mastery. To assist instructors with this goal, the 12th edition enhanced eBook will incorporate all-new inline self-assessments, as well as gradable chapter assessment quizzes.
Recognise the rigorous scientific methodology involved in animal behavior research with an all-new "Behind the Scenes" feature, where each chapter will highlight a single research paper and look in-depth at how the research was conducted, taking a balanced view of the ultimate and proximate causes underlying how and why animals behave as they do. Rubenstein is renowned for its empirical presentation of the ultimate causes of animal behavior, and this edition will do an even better job of integrating concepts across levels of scale at the proximate level. This need will be addressed by including an even greater focus on Tinbergen's "Four Questions" and by including more integrative studies that cross levels of analysis. A 10% streamline across the content, a redesign of the chapter summaries and the addition of synthetic sections that link topics across the text and media resources will help you traverse Animal Behaviour with ease.

Industry Reviews
[The new edition of Animal Behavior] integrates learning objectives and multimedia files to supplement the theory and research findings of the neural physiology behind animal behavior." -Christine Brodsky, Pittsburg State University
Rubenstein's Animal Behavior provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of animal behavior from every conceivable angle. It provides specific examples to contextualize the science behind particular behaviors, while remaining interesting and easy to understand." -Amanda A. Rollins, Wilmington College
The data-driven figures are priceless. The focus on scientific investigations is magnificent. And the maintenance of the rich tradition of having an extensive bibliography of peer-reviewed studies is without equal." -Arshad Khan, University of Texas at El Paso
