ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR & NEUROBIOLOGY
 
General Behaviour

Dokery,M and Reiss M (1999)-Behaviour. Advanced Biology Topics.Cambridge University Press

A good book for absolute beginners.If you have never heard about the science of animal behaviour, start by reading this book before engaging in higher levels of complexity.

Social Behaviour  
Wittenberger, JF ()-Animal Social Behaviour

Trivers, R. (1985) Social Evolution-The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company

This is really a very good book to teach evolution of social behavior, altruism, etc. It is a classic that has marked an era. It is a pity it is out of print, but it is worthwhile to pay some extra pounds to get it second hand.

 
     
     
     
Behavioural Ecology (by increasing level of complexity)  

Krebs, J.R. & Davies, N.B. (2001) An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology. Blackwell Scientific Publications

If you have read some of the books for beginners, then you can explore behavioural ecology by starting with this book before you adventure on more demanding readings.

Krebs, J.R. & Davies, N.B. (2001) Behavioural Ecology. Blackwell Scientific Publications

If you are a beginner you should NOT start with this book. Specially if you are NOT an native English speaker. It is too complicated and it demands a solid knowledge of concepts in evolution of behaviour.
