Zusammenfassung

Das Verhalten von Tieren ist außerordentlich variabel, und zwar sowohl zwischen Arten, zwischen Individuen derselben Art als auch situationsabhängig innerhalb von Individuen. Diese hierarchische Organisation in der Variation von Verhalten lässt sich mit statistischen Verfahren analysieren und verstehen.
