Behavioral Ecology Workshop 

Go beyond species identification and explore why animals behave in certain ways to survive, reproduce, and compete in their habitats. Through classroom learning and guided hiking, discover how natural selection and ecological pressure shapes the instincts of all animals large and small. This course will examine the concepts of competition, predator defense, sexual selection, parental care, and more. We will discuss adaptations that Wisconsin animals utilize and interpret wildlife behaviors along our trails. Participants will come to better understand the complex relationships among wild animals. This workshop is led by Aubrey Fulsaas, whose collegiate academics focused on the field of Animal Behavior. This workshop will take place both indoors and outdoors.
