行為研究進(jìn)展的目標(biāo)仍然是自該系列開(kāi)始以來(lái)的目的：通過(guò)向同事和鄰近的同事介紹他們的理論思想和研究，為越來(lái)越多的從事動(dòng)物行為研究的科學(xué)家提供服務(wù)。領(lǐng)域。 我們希望該系列將繼續(xù)其“對(duì)該領(lǐng)域發(fā)展的貢獻(xiàn)”，因?yàn)樗念A(yù)期作用在1965年第一卷的前言中有所表述。從那時(shí)起，傳統(tǒng)的動(dòng)物行為領(lǐng)域通過(guò)這些聯(lián)系取得了新的活力。 它們與相關(guān)領(lǐng)域以及現(xiàn)在存在于動(dòng)物和人類學(xué)科之間的更密切關(guān)系形成。

The aim of Advances in the Study of Behavior remains as it has been since the series began: to serve 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. We hope that the series will continue its "contribution to the development of the field", as its intended role was phrased in the Preface to the first volume in 1965. Since that time, 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.
