Class goals • Gain: • (1) An understanding of the basic tenets of the science of animal behavior, across taxa and contexts • (2) An understanding of comparative scientific methods and how they are used to systematically investigate the evolution of behavior • (3) The ability to formulate and evaluate scientifically testable hypotheses about the evolution and physiology of behavior • (4) The ability to evaluate the challenges that global climate change presents for animal populations, and understand how to account for animal behaviors to make informed conservation decisions. • • In addition to these objectives, we will hone scientific literacy and communication skills (that are necessary for any career)!
Syllabus • Our guide to learning together • Includes academic dishonesty • Read it, and review it (it may change!) • Participating in class o We are all unique and will learn from each other (so please share your perspective) It’s okay to be unique in your opinion o Tips for speaking up? o How I would like you to participate (raise hand)

Late extra credit will not be accepted. Extra credit is worth 5 points each (i.e., maximum extra credit = 10 points). •Attend a talk/lecture pre-approved by an instructor and write a one-page summary of how the talk pertained to animal behavior. •Find a current (meaning within the last 2 months) popular journalism piece (i.e., something from the New York Times, NPR, etc.) on animal behavior. Read it and the original journal article and write a one-page summary of how well the popular article captured the original research publication. •Read a peer-reviewed animal behavior related journal article (get the article pre-approved by an instructor). Provide a short summary (2 – 3 paragraphs) and 5 critical questions/critiques you have about the research. In addition, extra credit opportunities may be offered on exams, assignments, and in class at the instructor ’ s discretion. Be on the lookout and take advantage of these opportunities! They add up and may make the difference in your letter grade by the end of the semester.
