Cuando se trata de determinar la dieta más adecuada para un animal en cautividad, se suele afirmar que hay tantas dietas correctas como propietarios de animales. Ello es tanto más cierto cuando nos referimos a las dietas para aves, procedentes de los mas dispares habitats, desde el domestico gorrion al exotico kiwi.En la presente obra se aborda el problema desde una perspectiva cientifica, basada en los trabajos realizados por expertos en nutricion animal y que derivan de las practicas que se llevan a cabo en algunos zoologicos de los Estados Unidos, que tienen encomendada la mision de conserar en el mejor estado la vida de los animales que tienen a su cargo.Las aves se han agrupado en los ordenes taxonomicos propios de la zoologia, describiendo dietas afines por familias, por grupos de especies y cuando la especificidad del caso lo ha requerido, se ha llegado a describir dietas individualizadas por especies en particular.Las necesidades alimenticias de las aves no son siempre las mismas, sino que varian en funcion de su edad o evolucion sexual. Ello ha obligado a describir dietas para los polluelos de determinadas especies y tambien las que son mas convenientes si se pretende estimular la reproduccion o ayudar a la crianza.Algunas de las dietas contienen productos de dificil obtencion para el aficionado medio, por lo que en los apendices que complementan la obra, se describe la composicion de los productos comerciales, no siempre a nuestra disposicion en el mercado nacional, e incluso, dando un paso mas, nos enseña como obtener alimentos vivos cuando ello es posible (mosca de la fruta, gusano de la harina, etc.).

A través de sus páginas descubrirá todos los secretos que conseguirán hacer de su acuario marino o de arrecife el hábitat perfecto para sus habitantes.

This is the first book to collate and synthesize the recent burgeoning primary research literature on dog behaviour, evolution, and cognition.The author presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour, demonstrating how dogs can be the subject of rigorous and productive scientific study without the need to confine them to a laboratory environment.Dog Behaviour, Evolution and Cognition starts with an overview of the conceptual and methodological issues associated with the study of the dog, followed by a brief description of their role in human society-almost a third of human families share their daily life with the dog! An evolutionary perspective is then introduced with a summary of current research into the process of domestication.The central part of the book is devoted to issues relating to the cognitive aspects of behaviour which have received particular attention in recent years from both psychologists and ethologists. The book''s final chapters introduce the reader to many novel approaches to dog behaviour, set in the context of behavioural development and genetics.Directions for future research are highlighted throughout the text which also incorporates links to human and primate research by drawing on homologies and analogies in both evolution and behaviour.The book will therefore be of relevance and use to anyone with an interest in behavioural ecology including graduate students of animal behaviour and cognition, as well as a more general audience of dog enthusiasts, biologists, psychologists and sociologists.
