This textbook explores the mechanisms and
evolution of animal behavior, including neural, hormonal, and genetic substrates
of behavior, foraging, anti-predator defenses, mating systems and sexual
selection, social behavior, communication, parental care, kin selection and
recognition, and territoriality. Associated laboratory exercises will provide
hands-on experience for many of these concepts.
The general discussions at the beginning of the different
sections and chapters, and the discussions of the different diseases are
naturally brief. The chapters have been grouped under the necessary heads,
with review questions at the end of each chapter, and the book divided into
seven parts. Topics covered includes: General Discussion Of Disease: Diagnosis
and Symptoms Of Disease and Treatment, Non-specific Or General Diseases, The
Teeth, Surgical Diseases, Parasitic Diseases, Infectious Diseases.
The book is divided into three parts.
Part I provides an introduction to an elementary knowledge of animal structure,
function, and development. Part II explains the principal branches of the animal
kingdom. Part III is devoted to a necessarily brief consideration of certain of
the more conspicuous and interesting features of animal ecology.

This paper brings up to date the information available on Indo-Australian
basicero tines. A second Rhopalothrix species is described and two new
Melanesian Eurhopalothrix species are added, along with systematic and
distributional notes on some older species, and a key to the Indo- Australian
fauna.
