BIO-3303 Animal Physiology & Behavior
This course examines the mechanistic and evolutionary causes of animal behavior. There is an emphasis on linking behaviors to natural selection and evolution throughout the course. Topics include behavioral ecology, social behavior, reproductive behavior, anti-predator strategies, optimum foraging theory, and communication. The physiological processes that control these behaviors are explored. Laboratory exercises involve direct observational measurements with live animals.
