Reviews

"In Behaviour and Physiology of Fish, Katherine Sloman, Rod Wilson and Sigal Balshine have eminently addressed the intimate interplay of the underlying physiological processes and behavioural output that enable us to better understand the proximate mechanisms and functions of fish behaviour...With reference to the title of this book review, there is indeed something fishy going on, and the link between behaviour and physiology is detailed exquisitely here. I highly recommend this book to undergraduates and postgraduates who are interested in either realm or who intend to study a combination of mechanistic and functional questions regarding behaviour. Any fish biologist who wishes to understand the current state of the art should also read this book as a base for future studies. I do hope to see a second edition of this book since the editors tantalisingly mention genomics and proteomics in their introduction. Post-genomic technology should provide fresh new insight into the, as yet, elusive causes of particular behaviours in future studies. This is an exciting time for the field of behaviour and physiology and this book will provide an interesting read for those who share my enthusiasm." - Lynne U.
