Document Summary
The science of animal behaviour: concepts, methods, and applications. Animals and their behaviour are an integral part of human society: animals are part of your life, as long as humans been around animals have had an effect of how human function. The scientific method is a formalized way of knowing about the natural world: start with observation, move to a research quesition, than to a research hypothesis. Make predictins about the hypotheses, then have to have a methology to test that prediction using those methods you come up with some data, after the data you have to anaylasis the data. These steps are the formal way of doing things: field: outside of the laboratory. Scientists test hypotheses to answer research questions about behaviour: observation can be something you came across after reading a paper, doesn t have to come from the wild.
