Institutional Learning Outcomes: Students in this course seek answers to questions about why animals behave the way they do. They learn about alternative ways to approach this topic, including thinking about what determines the mechanisms responsible for behaviour as well as focusing on the adaptiveness and evolution of behaviour. In lab, students undertake various exercises in observing and experimentally manipulating animal behaviour to test hypotheses about its causes and functions. Students learn skills critical for biologists, such as working in teams, analyzing and interpreting data, conducting research projects, developing and testing hypotheses, and communicating results in both written and oral form. Prerequisite: BIOL 1110/1210 (C minimum) Corequisite: BIOL 3000 Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of BIOL 3100, 3101
