BIO 4543 - Animal Behavior

Institution:

University of the Ozarks

Subject:

Description:

This course is about the questions biologists ask, how they test their hypotheses with model species in laboratory experiments and on wild species in field experiments, the causes of behaviors that have been discovered, and the general types of behaviors that animals exhibit. The course emphasizes the comparative approach to biology to understand the evolutionary, genetic and physiological causes of behavior as well as the role of the physical and social environments. Because humans share some ancestors, genes, anatomy and physiology with other animals, students will learn about what motivates, stimulates and controls their own behavior, too. Prerequisites: One Biology course and Junior classification or permission from the Instructor.
