Domestic Animal Behavior
Domestic Animal Behavior is a 2011 text book about the behaviour of production and companion animals. It is aimed at academics looking to get a grip on the scientific body of knowledge on the behaviour of these animals. It reads like a systematic literature survey, with the full citations and jargon that go with it.
As one of the most widely cited pieces of writing on animal behaviour, it is well worth finding out more. Check out the full review here.
