The scientific study of animal behaviour is called ethology, and it often focuses on behaviour in its natural environment and
sees behaviour as an adaptive quality that has evolved over time. The term "behaviourism" also refers to the scientific and
objective study of animal behaviour, typically focusing on trained behavioural responses in a lab setting or measurable
responses to stimuli without a focus on evolutionary adaptability. Numerous naturalists have investigated various facets of
animal behaviour throughout history. Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and American and German ornithologists from the late
19th and early 20th centuries, such as Wallace Craig, Charles O. Whitman, and Oskar Heinroth (1871–1955), laid the
foundations for ethology. The work of three biologists who shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine—Dutch
biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen (1907–1988), Austrian biologists Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch (1886–1982)—is
generally regarded as having launched the current field of ethology in the 1930s.
