Behavioral ecology
The behavioral ecology is the scientific discipline which studies the animal behavior such as one can observe it in natural environment, in particular from the point of view évolutionnaire. Behavioral ecology insists in particular on the distinction introduced by the ethologist Niko Tinbergen, between the causes known as distal and the causes known as proximales of the animal behaviors. The distal causes indicate the mechanisms which, during the evolutionary history of a Espèce Animal E given, have selected the appearance of such or such behavior in the behavioral Répertoire of the species in question. The proximales causes indicate the reasons which make that in a particular Contexte, such animal will behave of such or such way.
