Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Living with conspecifics seems to be the default option in vertebrates; the basic neuronal and physiological structures and functions were conservatively maintained from the advent of gnathostome fishes till today, over at least 450 mio years of Phylogeny. The course will start with an overview over the patterns of social systems in animals including humans and will mainly concentrate to the on the structures and mechanisms involved in sociality.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam (max. 60 min), with 5-6 questions (no multiple choice), resulting in max. 10 points per question. At least one of the questions refers to the papers discussed during the course. The date of the first exam (approx. 1 week after the end of the course) will be discussed in the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Aims are to provide evolutionary explanations for living together and to integrate evolutionary functions with proximate mechanisms.

Examination topics

Ppt presentation (will be made available via moodle), discussions, integration of scholarly key peer review publications.

Reading list

Possible textbooks will be discussed in the lecture. Further relevant material as well as the ppt presentations will be available via Moodle.
