The book is aimed at several audiences:

  • for lecturers and students. This synthesis will help to underpin the curriculum in neuroscience and behavioural biology, especially for courses focusing on neuroethology

  • for academic researchers. The book will provide a valuable resource and an enjoyable read

Above all, we hope this book will inspire the next generation of neuroethologists.
