About the Author

Nikolaas Tinbergen, a Dutch zoologist, with the Austrian biologist Konrad Lorenz founded the field of modern ethology---the study of animals in their natural surroundings. The two men shared the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine with Karl von Frisch (see Vol. 5) in 1973. Convinced of the mostrar mais sterility of much contemporary comparative and experimental psychology, and appalled at the far-reaching generalizations made by psychologists on the basis of observations of a few species of caged rodents, Tinbergen set out to study a few highly specific problems in animal behavior: the nature of the stickleback's courtship, the stimuli causing a young herring gull to beg for food, and the reasons gulls bother to remove empty eggshells from their nests. His influential book The Study of Instinct (1951) had a tremendous impact on the development of ethology. Ethologists believe that instinct is a motivational basis for human behavior as well as for animal behavior and hence that ethological studies have valid human applications. Tinbergen is particularly concerned that human beings are in danger of losing their ability to adapt because of the very rapid changes taking place in contemporary society. He thinks there is much we can learn from close study of animal adaptation. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

l autor narra, con claridad y con alguna pincelada humorística, la historia de los descubrimientos que él y sus colegas han hecho, a lo largo de muchos años, en el estudio del comportamiento de ciertos animales en su ambiente natural.
La acción se desarrolla desde la dunas holandesas, a las tierras heladas del Ártico, a los bosques y campos de Inglaterra, a los acantilados de las Islas Farne.
Tinbergen habla de las abejas, de las avispas, de las aves zancudas, de las gaviotas, de los insectos cazadores y de los gansos del norte. Describe los ingeniosos experimentos que él y otros biólogos llevaron a cabo para saber cómo encuentran las abejas su camino de regreso a la colmena, cómo las mariposas intimidan a sus posibles depredadores, por qué las gaviotas sitúan sus nidos en la forma en que lo hacen. Una y otra vez demuestra que detalles totalmente imprevistos de la vida animal son parte fundamental de su aparato de supervivencia.… (mais)
