  • BYB 215 - Introduction to Animal Behavior


    3 credit(s)
    This course provides a broad introduction to the vast diversity of animal behaviors that occur in nature. As behavior is a highly interdisciplinary field, the course draws on mechanistic, evolutionary, ecological, and other contexts in order to address the simple question: “What is that animal doing… and why?” A more general goal of the course is to encourage students to consider multiple possible explanations to such questions, as well as to think critically and scientifically.
