  • Avian Urban Ecology

    Edited by Diego Gil, Henrik Brumm ...
    As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare ... Read more

  • Animal Communication and Noise

    Edited by Henrik Brumm ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The study of animal communication has led to significant progress in our general understanding of motor and sensory systems, evolution, and speciation.

This book analyses whether and how animals can cope with such constraints, and ... Read more

  • The Unpredictable Species

    What Makes Humans Unique

    by Philip Lieberman ...
    The Unpredictable Species argues that the human brain evolved in a way that enhances our cognitive flexibility and capacity for innovation and imitation. In doing so, the book challenges the central claim of evolutionary psychology that we are locked into predictable patterns of behavior that were fixed by genes, and refutes the claim that language is innate. Philip Lieberman builds his case with ... Read more

  • Divided Brains

    The Biology and Behaviour of Brain Asymmetries

    by Lesley J. Rogers, Giorgio Vallortigara, Richard J. Andrew ...
    Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered unique to humans.

A similar basic plan of organisation exists across vertebrates. Summarising the evidence and highlighting research from the last twenty years, the ... Read more

Covering about half the national bird fauna, the Directory provides ... Read more
