Models of Adaptive Behaviour - An Approach Based on State

Klappentext Exciting findings in field of adaptive dynamic modelling of behaviour. Zusammenfassung Models of Adaptive Behaviour sets out a framework for adaptive explanations of behaviour! giving analyses of a range of biological issues such as energy-predation trade-offs! state-dependent life histories! and fluctuating environments. This book will be a revelation for graduate students and researchers interested in behavioural or evolutionary biology. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgements; 1. Introduction; 2.
