• ZOO 4415: Behavioral Ecology

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Behavioral ecology applies empirical and theoretical approaches to ecological and evolutionary underpinnings for behaviors ranging from foraging and predation to social grouping and mating systems. Emphasizes comparative analyses (what phylogenetic patterns exist across diverse species?) as well as genetic/fitness benefits (how do individuals benefit from apparently puzzling behaviors?). Dual listed with ZOO 5415. Prerequisites: ZOO 3600 or ZOO 3400 for undergraduates.
