Dog Behaviour, Evolution, and Cognition

The first book to summarize the burgeoning research literature on the behavioural ecology of the dog. It presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour and highlights directions for future research. Providing links to human and primate behaviour research, it will appeal to anyone interested in behavioural ecology.

Claire L. Corridan Anthrozoös ...both honest and representative of current thinking on the origins and importance of canine ethology.

Current Biology Adam Miklosi's new book...will be a landmark contribution to the study of animal behaviour, evolution and cognition.

Nicola Rooney, Animal Behaviour Adam Miklosi provides one of the first entirely research-based dog behaviour texts: a great achievement and most certainly a timely addition to the literature...Dog Behaviour, Evolution and Cognition is a very scholarly work, and an ideal starting point for any new researcher in the field of dog behaviour....The book's organization breaks convention and challenges the construct of dog behaviour that I, and no doubt others, have long accepted...this book represents an
important step in the field of science-led dog research, and is a highly recommended addition to the bookshelf of any scholar of dog behaviour, domestication or animal cognition.

Doody's Notes This book is distinct in its approach to canine behaviour from a convergent evolutionary viewpoint, thus it is not directly comparable to any other book on canine behavior and fills a unique need in the field of bahavioral science.

Current Biology This new book is a testament to the bright future of research on dogs

Current Biology Miklosi's new book will be a central fixture in all future work on dogs, as it will be the first place that students and experts alike will go to review unfamiliar topics or search for new research ideas

Trends in Cognitive Science The 'must-reads' at the end of each chapter are a valuable guide to the literature, should the reader want to learn more. What makes this book especially valuable is that Miklosi reviews not only the very recent, but also the less recent literature.
