BIO 417 - Behavioral Ecology

4 Hour(s)
This course investigates the biological bases of animal behavior, focusing particularly on the evolution of social behavior in nonhuman animals. Theoretical foundations of the field as well as their practical applications are studied through discussion/lecture/activities. Experience in experimental design and observation techniques are developed through studies of animal behavior. These experiences culminate in a final research project of the student’s own design.

Four hours lecture/discussion and four hours laboratory.
