Description

Biological mechanisms underlying animal behaviour and the evolutionary functions of these behaviours. Sensory processing, learning, feeding, predator avoidance, communication, sociality, game theory, and cognition are explored from a comparative standpoint.

In this course, we will examine what animals do (behaviour) and why, with the focus being on the control, development, adaptive significance and evolution of behaviour.
