About this course: We will learn about the scientific study of animal behavior by exploring some well-studied and fascinating investigations of particular behaviors. We will begin by considering the intersection of science and society as it relates to animal behavior, and then move on to discussing the history, core concepts, and approaches of the scientific study of animal behavior. Then, we will conduct several series of readings from the primary scientific literature about particular case studies in animal behavior. Along the way, you will be exposed to new concepts in animal behavior and reinforce the core concepts from previous courses and earlier in the semester. You will also gain skills in carefully reading scientific literature, synthesizing information from multiple sources, and communicating information about Animal Behavior to the general public.
