Description: | Understanding how animals navigate their physical and social environments and process information to maximize survival and reproductive success constitutes the subject of behaviour. The Animal Behaviour module takes a scientific approach to understanding what animals, including humans, do and why they do it. This module will explore behaviours at both the proximate and ultimate levels of analysis. Proximate analysis involves the mechanism underlying a behaviour such as hormonal controls and gene expression, while ultimate analysis involves understanding the evolutionary origin and reproductive consequences of a behaviour. The module draws on teaching and research expertise in the Departments of Psychology and Biology. | ||
