Bio 3012: Animal Behavior Laboratory |
Course Description
|
|
Villanova University |
This laboratory course seeks to introduce students to (1) observation and description of animal behavior in lab and field; (2) construction of hypotheses in behavioral ecology and derivation of testable predictions; (3) collection of behavioral data; (4) quantitative & statistical analysis of those data; and (5) interpretation and presentation of findings in written and oral forms. An additional goal of the course is to give students a sense of the diversity of animal behavior through use of videos, field exercises, and off-campus trips. Students will also be expected to develop their abilities to discuss their observations and interpretations of behavior.
