This course provides a solid and insightful introduction to the field of animal behaviour, as conceptualized through an integrative framework and encourages a fundamental understanding of the relationship between genotypes, behavioural phenotypes, and the living environment. From these fundamentals, the course aims to develop competence in generating and testing evolutionary‑mind hypotheses about behaviour variation, integrating ecological, mechanistic, and developmental perspectives.
