N2  - "Contemporary, thought-provoking yet utterly practical, this book gives an introduction to the use and misuse of behaviour tests applied to animals. By including illustrative examples from a variety of species, the book is aims to inspire the animal scientist to think about what a given behavioural test can be used for and how the results can be interpreted. It is valuable to students, established researchers, teachers and practitioners of applied ethology, animal welfare science, and veterinary science"--
