BIOL 207L-01, Animal Behavior Laboratory, Fall 2009

Abstract

The purpose of the Animal Behavior Laboratory (207L) is for students to to have hands-on experiences designing and implementing experiments that concern a variety of taxa and behaviors. After successful completion of the Animal Behavior Laboratory, students should be capable of: 1. Understanding and identify behaviors in a variety of taxa; 2. Designing and implementing experiments to test hypotheses relating to animal behavior; 3. Using statistical analyses appropriate to the experiment’s design; and 4. Effectively communicating one’s findings (both verbally and in written formats).
