Reviews for Animal Vigilance: Monitoring Predators and Competitors
This is the first book devoted to this thriving field of biology...This volume goes beyond capturing the current state of the field and encourages the field to grow in new directions...I highly recommend this book both as an entry point to the vast literature and as a discussion starter for new research.
