8 2-hr sessions beginning on 17 January and ending on 8 March 2023
Who doesn’t enjoy watching animals? From frisky squirrels to the Cal falcons, the Berkeley campus is full of interesting examples of animal behavior. Join us as we use observations of the critters on campus to explore the science of animal behavior, including how to develop and test hypotheses regarding the functional significance of the intriguing things that animals do. This discovery-based seminar is a great way to gain hands-on experience with behavior, biology, and the Berkeley campus. Already an experienced observer? Brand new to thinking about behavior? Anyone with interest and curiosity is welcome!
Professor Lacey is a behavioral biologist who studies social relationships in mammals. In particular, she is interested in understanding why some species of mammals live in family groups while other species are solitary, meaning that each adult lives alone. She explores these themes by studying South American rodents known as tuco-tucos, tojos, tokoros, and cururos. Her work with these animals has taken her to multiple remote locations in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Chile. At Berkeley, Professor Lacey teaches courses on animal behavior, mammals, and natural history museums.
