Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Duke University/Bio 267 - Behavioral Ecology (Fall 2018)

Behavioral ecology is a subfield of both ecology and evolutionary biology, incorporating ecological and evolutionary principles to understand how animal behavior has evolved, and the ways in which animals use behavior to solve social and ecological problems. The course will cover major topics in behavioral ecology and will use these topics to introduce the conceptual framework of the field.

Students will be contributing knowledge related to the various subfields of behavioral ecology.
