課程概述

Behavioural Ecology in a Changing World provides an overview of the field Behavioural Ecology in the context of anthropogenic changes. While Behavioural Ecology focused on how biotic and abiotic factors shape animal behaviours, it becomes increasingly important to understand the role of animal behaviours in determining the fate of species in a human-modified world. Specifically, the course will explore concepts including: the underlying mechanisms, the patterns and processes, and the ecological and evolutionary consequences of behavioural responses. You will learn about these concepts and there will be a strong emphasis on understanding these areas of research through rigorous reading of primary literatures and discussion. Class sessions will be a mixture of lecturing, in-class activities, and team-based projects. 

課程目標
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
1. Understand and make informed predictions about behavioural responses to changing environments
2. Reinforce and improve your analytical and quantitative abilities
3. Evaluate, think critically and engage in discussion of primary literature of behavioural ecology and global change ecology 
課程要求
Class attendance is required, as our learning is based upon interactions in discussion and team-based projects. You are also expected to read primary literatures before class, which are essential for in-class activities and discussion. During the term, you will be leading a group discussion based on a paper related to the topic covered in class. There is no mid or final exam but a team-based project by the end of the course. The team-based project involves in-depth investigations of a particular subject of your interests.
