Description
The links between ecology and the study of behaviour are explored in this symposium volume. If evolution is a fitness-maximizing process in which optimal behaviour strategies are selected for, what are the consequences for populations? What behavioural and environmental features make populations stable or unstable? These questions are tackled in papers reporting original research reviews by experts in the ecology and behaviour of particular species or groups of animals.
