Laboratory consists of physiological experiments designed to test student-developed hypotheses.
A course in introductory biology and chemistry is recommended. Not open to students who have taken BIO209. Recently sociobiologists have further merged the two disciplines suggesting that common characteristics across animal social systems and trends from more primitive to advanced can be useful in understanding human societies. Labs will involve extensive use of films and videos to demonstrate higher animal behavior, investigative labs to assess stereotyped behavior in simpler animals, and field trips. Each student will conduct his or her semester-long research project on an animal of his or her choice.
