  • BIO 362: Animal Behavior

    3.00 Credits
    Roger Williams University

    Cross-Listed as PSYCH 362Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core ConcentrationPrerequisites: PSYCH 100, BIO 103, and BIO 104 or NATSC 103; or consentof instructorProseminar course. Emphasizes common challenges that variousspecies face. The mechanisms responsible for behavior, includingsensory receptors, filters, neurobiology and the endocrine system arediscussed. The development of behavior, as well as behavior geneticsand evolution are examined. Students then focus on communicationand adaptations for survival, and social organization in animalgroups. Students present the results of a literature search.
