| Unit Description |
This unit explores the evolution, function, development and mechanisms of animal behaviour. It deals with animals in their natural environment, specially the social and reproductive behaviour of Australian birds. It then addresses the question of how animals perceive and respond to their environment, including the behaviour and higher cognition of non-human primates. Students will complete a small project. |
