Niko Tinbergen is one of the grand masters of ethology, and the papers published here are among its most important documents: they are a source-book for students of animal behaviour and will give the historian of ideas an insight into the early days of one of the most influential movements in modern science. -- Sir Peter Medawar
Nikolaas Tinbergen was a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Professor of Animal Behaviour and Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford. He was co-recipient of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. P. B. Medawar, an Oxford-trained biologist, received the 1960 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology.
The publication of the Tinbergen papers is a service to a large and
growing audience of scholars. These articles are not only of
considerable historical value but to a remarkable extent retain
their usefulness as a primary source of data and ideas. -- Edward
O. Wilson, Professor of Zoology, Harvard University
