Animal Behaviour

Undergraduate

This course will emphasize the link between organisms and their environment. The thrust of the course will be to understand why different species behave in different ways and why within species there may be individual differences in behaviour. The aim of the course is to derive a basic understanding of how animals have evolved behaviours that aid in survival and reproduction. Students will gain experience by participating in activities throughout the term. (Prerequisites: BIOL-2101, BIOL-2111, and BIOM-2131, or permission of instructor.) (3 lecture hours a week.)
