Designed for students interested in the scientific study of behavior, this course presents an integrative approach to studying the mechanisms and function of animal behavior. It also provides you with a basis for understanding how research on behavior is conducted, and how studies of animals contribute to behavioral science. You will learn about the integrative approach to studying behavior, exploring the contributions that development, genetics, neurology, and physiology have on behavior. You will cover approaches examining the evolutionary function of behavior, and will be exposed to studies on animal communication and sociality. You will also learn the relevance of animal studies in better clarifying the mechanisms of human behavior.
