Description
Proximate mechanisms underlying animal behaviour. Focus on evolution of nervous systems in response to environmental selection pressures. Topics include: genetic and hormonal influences on behaviour (e.g. maternal care); unique sensory worlds (e.g. magnetic); various levels of neural integration, from simple reflexes to complex social behaviour.
Prerequisites

Conditions and arrangements
- Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3305 or BIOL 3306 , or permission of the Department.
