  • BIO 2640: Animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Jamestown Community College

    Students will master a variety of topics including the nature of instinct, biological basis of aggression, social communication, animal navigation and migration, mating and reproductive behavior, and territoriality. Both classical and recent studies, including those that deal with human behavior will be represented. Field trips may representatives of the five major kingdoms of living organisms: monera, protista, fungi, plant, and animal in this classical biology survey course. Additional topics explained and interpreted include the structure, function, economic importance, and ecological roles of the representative organisms. Some outside fieldwork is involved. This survey course is appropriate for non-biology majors. 4 credit hours. Prerequisite: BIO 1570; Eligibility: ENG 1530. J spring; C spring
