| Aims |
Behavioural ecology adopts an evolutionary approach for the study of behaviour; the relationships between behaviour, ecology and evolution are explored in this field of biology. The general objective is to develop a conceptual framework for studying and understanding animal behaviour from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. Students will be trained to formulate and test hypotheses by carefully analyzing and discussing observational and experimental behavioural ecological studies.
