Felicity A. Huntingford and Angela K. Turner, Animal Conflict (1987); and John Archer, The Behavioural Biology of Aggression (1988), are older books that provide a broad overview of animal aggression and its biological basis. J.R. Krebs and N.B. Davies, An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology, 3rd ed. (1993), a classic textbook, gives clear and authoritative functional explanations of animal aggression. Randy J. Nelson, An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, 2nd ed. (1999, reissued 2000), provides an excellent general introduction to the link between hormones and behaviour and gives an up-to-date account of the role of hormones in aggressive behaviour.
