Behavioural ecology
Behavioural ecology explores how animal behaviours have evolved in response to their environments. This research helps to foster a deeper understanding of the natural world that can be used to aid conservation efforts, predict how species might react to environmental change, and can provide clues as to the evolutionary origins of diverse behaviours.
