Author Information

David B. Croft is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of New South Wales, Australia, where he teaches General Biology and Animal Behaviour. He graduated from Flinders University in South Australia with a University Medal and gained his PhD at the University of Cambridge in England. He has published numerous papers on the behaviour of species as diverse as Australian ant-lions and Javan leaf-eating monkeys. Croft has been the President of the Australasian Society for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Ethel Tobach, PhD, Curator Emerita at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, is the series editor of Advances in Comparative Psychology, publication of the International Society for Comparative Psychology and the University of Calabria. This series stresses the responsibility of comparative psychology to the people and natural resources of the countries in which their biennial international conferences take place. The first volume dealt with this responsibility as it applied to Costa Rica. This second volume resulted from the joint meeting of the Australian Society for the Study of Animal Behaviour and the International Society for Comparative Psychology. The third volume will be concerned with similar issues in Barbados.
