, first published in its Spanish edition by McGraw-Hill in 2001
(Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary and Ecological Approach) is a comprehensive textbook by Richard Maier , originally published in English as Comparative Animal Behavior
Maier writes in a narrative, problem-solving style. Each chapter starts with a puzzle (e.g., "Why do lions kill the cubs of other males?") and walks the student through the evolutionary logic of the answer. This is gold for self-study.
