Natural Sciences 191CNS05 - FYS- The Sex Lives of Animals

In this seminar, we will explore the amazing diversity of animal mating and reproduction. We will investigate how animals find and select mates, how male and female sexual imperatives differ, the wide variety of means and methods by which animals reproduce, and more. We will also ponder some "why" questions, such as, "Why do males and females differ"?, "Why are many sexual behaviors so extreme and elaborate"?, and "Why does sex exist"?

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
