This program typically pairs students with faculty advisors from key departments including Biological Sciences, Neuroscience, and Psychology. The research explores how evolutionary mechanisms influence the development of functionally organized behaviors across diverse species. Studies investigate fundamental survival behaviors such as foraging, predator avoidance, mate selection, parental care, and social dynamics. The work emphasizes understanding both the adaptive significance of behavioral patterns and the genetic, anatomical, physiological, and psychological mechanisms that govern them, along with their environmental interactions. Researchers employ both field observations of natural behaviors and controlled laboratory experiments to examine these phenomena.
