研究动物行为的行为学方法所依据的原则主要是通过对脊椎动物而不是哺乳动物的研究得出的。最近，同样的方法在哺乳动物行为的研究中得到了丰硕的成果，特别是被德国的动物学家所采用，并且已经积累了相当可观的事实信息。虽然新信息仍在以不断增加的速度涌入，但尝试对已知的东西进行一些临时综合似乎是值得的；据此，看看从其他群体的研究中推断出的原理在应用于哺乳动物时是否需要任何修改、放大或限制；最后，试图澄清哺乳动物行为的特点是什么。
The principles on which the ethological approach to animal behaviour is based were worked out mainly from studies on vertebrates other than mammals. More recently, the same approach has been fruitfully adopted in the study of mammalian behaviour, particularly by German zoologists and a very considerable body of factual information has already been amassed. Although new information is still coming in at an ever increasing rate, it seems worth while to attempt some interim synthesis of what is already known; from this to see whether the principles deduced from studies on other groups require any modification, amplification or restriction when applied to mammals; and finally to try to clarify what are the particular features that characterise mammalian behaviour.
