Biology 363 - Research in Animal Behavior

Diverse fields from ecology to neuroscience rely on measures of animal behavior to reveal new insights into how individuals interact with their physical and social environments. Scientists integrate both high-tech (remote imaging, AI) and low-tech (human observation) solutions to record, track, and analyze patterns of behavior in the wild and in the lab. This course gives students experience with several methods of quantifying and analyzing animal behavior in both field-based and lab-based investigations. Students develop and conduct an independent research project and practice interpreting their own data.  Prerequisites: SDS 201, SDS 210, or SDS 220. Enrollment limited to 15.
