Laboratory experiences are being introduced to illustrate and test theories of animal behavior and ecology that are presented in the lectures of five existing courses. The computer-aided radio telemetry equipment also is providing advanced undergraduate research opportunities in the disciplines of ethology and ecology, providing undergraduate access, experience, and familiarity with the equipment. The animal behavior and ecology topics that are being developed for incorporation into the Department's laboratory course work and undergraduate research include home range, territoriality, habitat preferences and partitioning, cyclic activity patterns (circadian and seasonal), dispersal patterns, refugia selection, social organization, and the effects of age, season, and sex on any or all of the above.

在现有的五门课程中，将引入实验经验来说明和检验动物行为和生态学的理论。计算机辅助无线电遥测设备也为动物行为学和生态学的本科生提供了先进的研究机会，为本科生提供了接触、经验和熟悉设备的机会。正在开发的动物行为和生态学主题将纳入该部门的实验室课程和本科生研究，包括活动范围，领土，栖息地偏好和划分，循环活动模式（昼夜节律和季节性），分散模式，避难所选择，社会组织，以及年龄，季节和性别对上述任何或所有内容的影响。
