Description:

An introduction to the analysis of animal behavior, emphasizing an evolutionary approach. We will investigate animal behavior through both the ecological processes that have driven the evolution of behavior and the physiological mechanisms that allow behaviors to be performed. A major objective of the laboratory will be to foster a strong sense of how science proceeds. You will be encouraged to ask your own questions and design your own experiments whenever possible. You will work in groups to determine your goals, set predictions, create appropriate tests, and analyze your results.
