Description:

College: College of Arts and Sciences Department: Biology Credit Hours: 3 This course has a lecture with 3 hours. In this course, we explore the diversity of animal behavior in order to understand how behavior is organized and controlled, how it develops, why it is performed, and why it takes a particular form. Natural selection is a major theme with emphasis on viewing behavior as a species attribute, following the approach of comparative ethology, and as an individual attribute, interpreting behavior to be a "strategy" that contributes to an organism's fitness.
