Subject:

Description:

Ellerby, Mattila In meeting the challenges of survival and reproduction, animals have evolved behaviors that can be spectacular and sometimes unplea-sant. With an eye to how behaviors ultimately shape an animal's fitness, we will explore the aspects of life that makes each animal's strat-egy unique, including communication, orientation, foraging, conflict and aggression, mating, parental care, and social life. Laboratories will expose students to the challenges of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data on animal behavior . Prerequisite: 109 or 111, or permission of the instructor.
