  • BIO 372: Animal Behavior

    1.00 Credits
    Gustavus Adolphus College

    The study of animal behavior from an evolutionary perspective. This course will cover proximate mechanisms and ultimate adaptiveness of behavior in a diversity of organisms from invertebrates to humans. It will examine how behaviors enhance survival and reproductive success, and the ways in which ecological pressures shape behaviors involved in communication, predator avoidance, foraging, parental investment, altruism, and sociality, among other topics. Three lectures and one three-hour lab weekly. Prerequisite: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 AND CHE-141. Fall semester.
