This course broadly exposes students to evolutionary and ecological processes that promote the vast diversity of behaviors found on our planet. A strong emphasis on natural selection and the adaptiveness of behaviors pervades the course. The curriculum aims to define and organize this diversity for upper-division undergraduate students by considering two basic questions: How do animals behave (Ethology) and why do they behave as they do (Behavioral Ecology)?
