Abstract: | Investigators of animal behavior since the eighteenth century have sought to make their work integral to the enterprises of
natural history and/or the life sciences. In their efforts to do so, they have frequently based their claims of authority
on the advantages offered by the special places where they have conducted their research. The zoo, the laboratory, and the
field have been major settings for animal behavior studies. The issue of the relative advantages of these different sites
has been a persistent one in the history of animal behavior studies up to and including the work of the ethologists of the
twentieth century.
