This text presents an overview of research on how stress affects physiology and behaviour in both animals and humans. Coverage includes the effects of stress on the neuroendocrine and immune systems, the evolutionary adaptation to stress, and how organisms buffer themselves against stress.

Advances in the Study of Behavior continues to serve scientists across a wide spectrum of disciplines. Focusing on new theories and research developments with respect to behavioral ecology, evolutionarybiology, and comparative psychology, these volumes foster cooperation and communication in these diverse fields.

Dr. Peter Slater is a Kennedy Professor of Natural History at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland. He is a former Editor of the journal Animal Behaviour and past President of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. He received the Association's medal in 1999.
