BIOL 5216 - Animal Behavior (3)

The objective of this course is to provide you with an overview of the evolutionary and mechanistic approaches to understanding how and why animals behave the way they do. As well as providing examples of how behavioral patterns contribute to an animal’s chances of survival and reproductive success, this course will provide a window into the various levels of analysis that researchers use to explain the often complex ways animals behave. After taking this course, you will appreciate the importance of animal behavior in ecology and evolution, the proximate and ultimate drivers of behavior, and the approaches researchers use to generate this knowledge. This course is co-listed with BIOL 4216. Prerequisite(s): Acceptance into BIOL MS program or instructor consent. Spring.
