The Social Regulation of Competition and Aggression in Animals

Martin H. Moynihan

4.9/5 (28392 ratings)

Description:An acute observer of animal behavior, Martin H. Moynihan uses a wide array of comparative studies to detail the diversity, mechanics, and evolutionary origins of the means by which animals keep their aggression in check. He follows birds, primates, and cephalopods in their natural settings, analyzing not only such simple behaviors as habituation and retreat but also more intricate interactions such as redirection attacks, excluding other animals from opportunities, leaving scent marks, and engaging in dominance relationships. Moynihan demonstrates that signaling is fundamental to the evolution of strategies for regulating aggression, and he describes how divergent social signals can accomplish similar ends as well as the reverse - how homologous signals can play different roles depending on the particular circumstances of each social confrontation. He also explores the ecological factors that lie behind the geographical distribution of some signalling patterns.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
