This textbook on animal behavior is designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in veterinary science, animal science, and zoology and offers an integrated view of behavioral biology, bridging classical ethology, cognitive neuroscience, and ecological adaptation with practical veterinary applications. The initial chapters provide foundational aspects such as orientation, motivation, and communication before moving into core themes of learned behavior, cognition, social dynamics, reproduction, and courtship. It further addresses applied behavioral contexts in veterinary practice, including stress and welfare indicators, the impact of hormones and drugs, and human-animal interactions. The final sections explore ecological and evolutionary behavior, including movement, habitat selection, and behavioral responses to altered ecosystems. Emphasizing both theoretical depth and practical application, the book provides students and professionals with a modern, interdisciplinary perspective on the role of behavior in animal health, welfare, and survival. Key feature: 1) Provides an overview of animal behavior, covering foundational principles, learning and cognition, social dynamics, reproductive strategies, and ecological interactions. 2) Addresses complex behavioural phenomena such as social dominance, reproductive strategies, maternal investment, altruism, and host-parasite interactions within both naturalistic and managed settings 3) Explains the evolutionary and physiological basis of behaviour, drawing upon current understanding in genetics, endocrinology, neuroethology, and environmental biology 4) Examines behavioural responses to environmental pressures, including migration, habitat selection, anthropogenic disturbance, and ecosystem alterations 5) Incorporates the impact of exogenous influences such as hormone therapy, drug administration, and human-animal interactions on behavioural outcomes Short Blurb This veterinary textbook for postgraduate students presents an in-depth overview of animal behavior, combining ethological theory, behavioral neuroscience, and veterinary applications. It explores cognition, communication, stress responses, social behavior, and ecological adaptations, making it an important resource for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences. Seasonal Blurb This textbook for advanced graduate and postgraduate veterinary students introduces animal behavior through a modern lens, integrating classical ethology with veterinary, ecological, and neurophysiological insights. Designed for advanced veterinary and life science students, it covers foundational concepts such as orientation, motivation, and communication and extends into complex areas including social structure, cognitive behavior, stress and welfare indicators, pharmacological impacts, and reproductive strategies. The ecological dimension explores behavior in response to environmental shifts, host-parasite interactions, and conservation. It is useful for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences.

Climate Smart Crops: Enhancing Resilience and Adaptation is a comprehensive overview of modern technologies and strategies to improve plants in terms of food, feed, fodder, fibre and fuel production for human well-being in the face of climate change. With focus on the latest advances in plant molecular mapping and genome sequencing, it demonstrates how genomics-assisted strategies can be utilized to produce improved plants with climate-smart traits. Significant successes in the areas of molecular breeding, transgenics and genomics have contributed to revolutionary modifications in cereal-vegetable-fruit-oilseed crop-improvement strategies and methods, but there is still work to be done. Understanding the strategies and approaches that are most appropriate for enhancing production is key to effective, efficient, and timely advancement of further crop yield quality and quantity through crop genetics, genomics, breeding, biotechnology, and in the disciplines of agronomy, agriculture, agroforestry, horticulture and phytoremediation. Climate Smart Crops: Enhancing Resilience and Adaptation provides an excellent basis for current state of the science for climate smart crops as well as and inspiring future research.

Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants: Impacts and Management offers new insights into understanding the mechanisms of plant response to organic pollutants and their impact on plant developmental biology and stress tolerance. The book provides coverage on the phytotoxicity and the deleterious effects of various organic pollutants on the mechanisms of plant growth, development, and responses to stress. It also considers environmental and plant-based remediation strategies to mitigate the impact phytotoxicity of organic pollutants and examines the broader potential implications of their impact on food safety and environmental sustainability. Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants is an interdisciplinary resource for scientists, academics, graduate students, and industry professionals interested in the study and remediation of the phytotoxicity of contaminants.

Sustainable Cropping Systems Under Changing Climate explores the intersection of agricultural practices, climate change, and crop production. The book provides crucial insights into how agricultural researchers and practitioners can navigate the challenges of maintaining crop productivity within diverse cropping systems, especially under varying climate scenarios. It emphasizes the real-world applications of these insights and offers strategies to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture. This comprehensive work discusses the impacts of changing climate conditions on diverse cropping practices, identifies challenges, and proposes effective mitigation strategies. It aims to develop resilient, adaptive cropping systems to ensure food security for a growing global population.
