BIOL - 325. Behavioral Ecology

(2 hours lecture, 4 hours laboratory)
3 credit(s)
The course will explore the relationship between animal behavior, ecology and evolution. We will examine how animals behave under specific ecological conditions and ask why such behaviors evolved. Topics of particular interest include problems of finding living space, food, and mates; social interactions among individuals and groups; and the ways that behavior affects population size and location. One weekend field trip is planned. Lab fee.
