課程概述 |
Behavioural Ecology takes an evolutionary perspective to address the mechanisms and processes that have shaped the current form and utility of various aspects of animal behaviour. The course consists of weekly three-hour lectures, a bit take-home literature reading, and a group research project. The lectures cover major topics in Behavioural Ecology and introduce relevant research approaches. The literature reading provides a glimpse of cutting‑edge research in the field. The group project allows students to experience the entire process of conducting a behaviour study, practising the theories and approaches learnt from the lectures. |
|
課程目標 |
From the course, students are expected to comprehend a broad spectrum of behavioural concepts and theories. They should become familiar with searching, reading, and discussing new publications in the field of Behavioural Ecology, and be able to logically design and conduct small-scale, hypothesis-testing behaviour research in a collaborative manner. |
|
課程要求 |
Students should have taken General Biology (required), Ecology (suggested), and Basic Statistics (suggested), or courses called otherwise but deliver more or less the same knowledge. The final grade consists of: midterm and final exams (50%), paper presentation (15%), group project (25%), and participation (10%).
The course consists of weekly three-hour lectures (with slides), as well as two flash presentations and a group research project by students. From the literature collection provided early in the semester, students will select two papers to read and then prepare a five-minute flash presentation for each later in the semester. Students will team up early in the semester to propose respective small-scale research projects before the midterm, subsequently conduct the research, and finally present the outcome by the end of the semester. The size of the group and the scale of the projects will depend on the eventual total number of students. |

指定閱讀 |
A collection of recent papers in the field of Behavioural Ecology will be provided to students. |
|
參考書目 |
The weekly lectures are based on a classic textbook: Behavioural Ecology. Danchin, Giraldeau, and Cézilly (2008). Buying a textbook is encouraged but not mandatory, as its content will be covered in slides and shared with students. Early in the semester, students will be provided with a collection of recently published papers encompassing the course’s thematic topics as take-home readings. |
