Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Behavioral Ecology combines ideas from ecology, evolution and behaviour, and emerged from schools of thought developed primarily in the 1960s & 1970s. The overall objective of Behavioral Ecology is studying the adaptive significance of behavior and how it contributes to survival and reproductive success of an individual. This seminar places emphasis on the behavioral ecology of arthropods, that is, uses arthropod case studies to illustrate the major concepts of behavioral ecology. Course objective is to better understand how particular behavior patterns contribute, in general, to an animal's chances of survival and its reproductive success and, in particular, to the tremendous success of arthropods (especially insects, spiders and mites) as life form.
