Tinbergen’s Legacy in Behaviour: Sixty Years of Landmark Stickleback Papers
Biographical note
Frank A. von Hippel, Ph.D. (1996) in Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, is Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He has published extensively in the fields of evolution, animal behavior, ecology and ecotoxicology, using the stickleback as a model system.
Readership
All those interested in the development of the fields of ethology, evolutionary biology, ecology, ecotoxicology and developmental genetics, and those interested in the stickleback as a model system. These include scientists, students, educated laymen, research institutes, academic libraries, etc.
