BIOL 0334 - Animal Behavior

Credits: 4

This course will emphasize the adaptive value and evolutionary importance of animal behavior. We will explore the basic question: why do animals have the particular behaviors that they have? Topics include: habitat selection, dispersal, foraging, aggression, mating, reproduction, social organization, altruism, cooperation, and communication. In addition to reading from the text, students will critically read and discuss journal articles. Labs will involve in-depth studies of animal behavior and independently designed student projects.

Prerequisites: BIOL 0128  and either BIOL 0201  or BIOL 0230 , or permission of instructor.
