Animal Behavior

This course concentrates on how animals behave, why animals behave the way they do, and how scientists design experiments and collect data to study their behavior.  Students will learn about the biology behind behavior, animal communication, feeding behavior, mating, predator-prey relationships, aggression, territorial behavior, social behavior and parental care. 

For the lab portion of this course, live animal labs, video, and out-of-classroom activities will be utilized to supplement lecture and textbook notes.
