Tinbergen proposed the classic “Four Questions” suggesting that to fully understand a behavior one must not only study its mechanisms, development, function and evolution, but his classic paper also argued for the integration across these questions. In other aspects of animal behavior, the idea of integration has been emphasized as the need to address a question by integrating across biological levels of organization spanning genetic, physiological, organismal, social, ecological and evolutionary contexts. Yet another axis of integration stems from the comparative approach, aiming to identify patterns that span species, genera, and family levels. ‘Integration’ does not simply mean working at multiple points along a single axis or even incorporating multiple axes into a single research project. Rather, the results should be mutually informative within and among these axes drawing new insights to each. This push for integration has led some to question whether this might not lead to a state of “jack of all trades yet a master of none.” We review recent attempts for integration in the published literature and ask whether the appropriate vessel for integration is the individual researcher, the research group, a complex collaboration, or a broader research community. This project is the product of an undergraduate seminar course at Reed College.
