Description | Understanding the diverse ways in which animals navigate their physical and social environments and process information to maximize survival and reproductive success constitutes the subject matter of behaviour.
Multiple approaches are used to study these questions, frequently being employed together. Some focus on the ecological consequences and determinants of animal behaviour, linking behaviour and environment. Others focus on the physiological, neural, genetic, and developmental mechanisms of behaviour, and still others on the evolution of behaviour. Consequently, many courses from the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, neurobiology, psychology and anthropology will be relevant. Some courses that focus on a particular taxonomic group such as birds (Natural Resource Sciences WILD 420), amphibians and reptiles (BIOL 427) and marine mammals (BIOL 335) include a significant amount of behaviour as well. | | |
