This course will introduce the student to how animals survive, communicate, and behave in ways that are context-appropriate. The student will become familiar with underlying sensory, motivational, and cognitive mechanisms that guide social behavior and decision-making in animals as well as with its evolutionary background. The emphasis will be on integrating information from different areas of biology to make this understanding as general as possible.
