Phylogenies and the Comparative Method in Animal Behavior

Considers the impact of phylogenetic comparative methods on the study of animal behaviour. The book discusses the issues that need to be considered in design and analysis of a comparative study, and possible differences between the evolution of behaviour and the evolution of morphology.
This book considers the impact of modern phylogenetic comparative methods on the study of animal behaviour. It discusses the main issues that need to be considered in the design of a comparative study, and reviews statistical methods that are proposed for such research. Possible differences between the evolution of behaviour and the evolution of morphology using some of these modern techniques, comparative data, and phylogenies, are also considered.
