About
About the course
Course content
The course covers central features in behavioural ecology. Particular emphasis will be put on animal behaviour in an evolutionary perspective, but behavioural mechanisms are also important. In this context subjects discussed include interaction between individual interests, social behaviour and life history, and also the role of behavioural ecology in conservation biology. The course requires active participation from the students.
Learning outcome
On completion of the course the students should be familiar with central features in behavioural ecology, and be able to demonstrate knowledge of animal behaviour in an evolutionary perspective.
