Written by a team of leading experts in the field, The Neuroethology of Predator-Prey Interactions provides an engaging, broad ranging, and cutting-edge exploration of the neural basis of predator prey interaction, from biophysics to behavior and the evolution of escape and predatory mechanisms.
Written by a team of leading experts in the field, The Neuroethology of Predator-Prey Interactions provides an engaging, broad ranging, and cutting-edge exploration of the neural basis of predator prey interaction, from biophysics to behavior and the evolution of escape and predatory mechanisms. Ideal for students and researchers alike, this advanced text illuminates the design principles of escape and predatory behaviors using a series of case histories from different animal groups to emphasize the convergent evolution of neural circuitry that optimizes the chances of survival.

Keith T. Sillar is Professor and Head of theSchool of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland. His research interests include neurology, neuroscience and amphibian neurology. Along with Dr Heitler, he teaches an exchange course on neuroethology in the US. Dr William J Heitler is a reader at the School of Biology, University of St Andrews in Scotland, where his research interests include the neurology of crayfish and other crustacea, and escape behavior as well as more general neurology and neuroscience. He teaches an exchange course on neuroethology in the US in conjunction with Professor Sillar. Laurence Picton is at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at University of St Andrews, Scotland.
