Overview: The main goal of this course is to examine the proximate and ultimate causes of animal behavior, i.e., how and why animals do what they do. We will investigate the genetic/developmental and sensory/motor mechanisms of behavior, the possible evolutionary histories of behavior, and the effects of behavior on fitness.
