| Term: Fall Semester 2024 |
| Description: This class will cover the principles of animal behavior science. Students should be prepared to take on the role of an animal behavior researcher and as such, we will focus not only on the principles, evolution, and function of animal behavior but heavily on the methods and application of what we learn. Students will also put into practice some of the ways that scientists observe, record, and measure behavior in the natural world, through observations of local animals. We will review the methods and current challenges in animal behavior work. |
