Animal Behavior

Since you need to choose an animal, you should make an early expedition to the Lower Level of the Science Library and scan the shelves starting around QL750 to see what our book resources look like. You will need to work with the journal literature as well, but 'animal behavior' is particularly well represented in books.

• YAHOO Animal Behavior links
• Animal Behavior Society website
• Internet Animal Behavior from Nebraska Behavioral Biology Group

  N.B.: W&L has holdings of about half of these journals. One way to choose an animal would be to see what the journals themselves have to offer in the way of research articles.

• Ethology USENET group described
• Significance of Animal Behavior Research (Charles T. Snowdon)

  A search for 'ethology' in Annual Reviews is strongly suggested!
