Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Behavioural Ecology of Teleost Fishes presents an accessible review of the latest advances in knowledge of behavioural adaptations for survival and reproduction in fishes, and proposes new directions and approaches for future research.
MoreLong description:
Teleost (bony) fishes represent the most abundant taxonomic group of vertebrates. They are found in all conceivable types of aquatic environment and are extremely diverse behaviourally. Their evolutionary success as a taxonomic group is partly due to their striking behavioural plasticity. As such they are also extremely useful organisms on which to test mechanistic and functional models of behaviour. Considerable progress has been made over the past decade in understanding how behaviour, ecology, and genetics interact to determine individual survival and reproductive success in fishes, and thus the evolution of their behaviour.
Behavioural Ecology of Teleost Fishes reviews the latest advances in behavioural adaptations for survival and reproduction in fishes, and proposes new directions and approaches for future research. The book focuses on behavioural strategies and tactics of habitat selection and space use, foraging, predator avoidance and evasion, and reproduction. It also considers how the behaviour of individuals affects ecological processes at population and community levels.
The text will benefit all those with a general interest in behavioural ecology, and will be required reading for students, teachers, and researchers interested in the behaviour and ecology of fishes. It will also be a valuable reference source for biologists, aquaculturists, and conservationists.
