Introduction to Animal Behavior

Catalog description

BI132 provides an introduction to the scientific discipline of animal behavior and engages students in the process of scientific discovery. We take a biological perspective to investigate both the proximate and ultimate causes of behavior. Topics include the development of behavior and how animals solve ecological and evolutionary challenges through behavior. Students considering majors in science or pre-professional health occupations are advised to eventually take BI211, BI212 and BI213.
