《行为研究的进展》通过将科学家们的理论观点和研究成果呈现给同行和相关领域的人士，为从事动物行为研究的科学家提供了服务。自1965年第一卷问世以来，动物行为学传统领域通过与相关领域形成的联系以及研究动物和人类主体之间更紧密的关系，焕发出新的活力。本系列旨在继续为该领域的发展做出贡献。

Advances in the Study of Behavior serves the increasing number of scientists who are engaged in the study of animal behavior by presenting their theoretical ideas and research to their colleagues and to those in neighboring fields. Since the first volume published in 1965, the traditional areas of animal behavior have achieved new vigor by the links they have formed with related fields and by the closer relationship that now exists between those studying animal and human subjects. This series aims to continue its contribution to the development of the field.
