Maintaining the foundation of earlier editions, chapters examine key behavior issues ranging from communication to social structure.

The Seventh Edition adds enhanced coverage of behavioral genetics, animal cognition, and learning, considering new knowledge and the very latest information throughout. Each chapter covers a wide variety of farm and companion animals, including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, cattle, and goats. Major additions are chicken and donkey behavior as well as the microbiome.

Each chapter covers a particular behavior subdivided by species. The information has been updated using information published in the past five years. To aid in reader comprehension and assist in self-learning, a companion website provides review questions and answers and the figures from the book in PowerPoint.

  • Communication patterns, perception, vocalization, visual signals, social behavior, sleep and activity patterns, and detection of emotions in others
