Behaviour & Neurobiology
Research on behaviour and neurobiology in the Department of Biology has multiple facets, and explores this area using genetics, physiology, evolution, and ecological approaches. Research includes the genetic and neurological basis of behavioural traits in model or non-model organisms, as well as ecological or evolutionary questions about animal behaviour using field and/or lab-based approaches.
