BIOL 348 - Animal Behavior

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.
