Part I. Patterns of odontocete ethology and behavioral ecology. 1. Grouping behaviors of dolphins and other toothed whales / Shannon Gowans ; 2. Communication by sound and by visual, tactile, and ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers is advocating for convergent research that integrates the fields of biogeography and behavioral ecology to more rapidly respond to challenges associated with ...

A team of researchers has documented major changes in the behavior, ecology, and geographic range of the northern fur seal over the past 1,500 years using a combination of techniques from archaeology, ...

A new study shows that spatial and temporal environmental fluctuations can account for the maintenance of personality types in bird populations. Like humans, many animal species show behavioral ...

This lecture and field course explores adaptations of animals and plants for surviving the winter in northern latitudes. The course presents species identification, natural history, behavior, ecology ...

Hermit crabs represent an intriguing model for the study of social behaviour and ecological adaptation. Their reliance on external shells as a form of physical protection has led to complex, ...

The study found that bird species who nest in tree cavities have independently evolved heightened aggression across lineages, particularly in females. Scientists have long wondered whether evolution ...

Everywhere we go, we are surrounded by birds. We eat them, keep them as pets, we watch them, and they inspire our technologies, arts and religions, but at the same time, we humans are responsible for ...

A state carnivore research scientist will present information on the ecology and behavior of cougars in the Pacific Northwest’s increasingly urban landscape at the April 13 online Zoom meeting of the ...

For decades, ecologists have known that how a species looks or eats affects its environment. But a new study by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, shows that social behavior ...

The graduate program in biological anthropology at CU Boulder offers training in several areas, including primatology, human biology, and paleoanthropology. We share an interest in human ecology, the ...
