BIO201H5 S The Biology Behind the News
News stories are used to explore areas of biology, to learn about the
process of science, and to find and assess the validity of information.
The topics for the course modules will change yearly because the course
is designed to give students the tools to explore the biology behind the
news, not to teach a comprehensive survey of biological facts. Reading,
writing, and research skills are emphasized.
This is a biology course for students in the Humanities and Social
Sciences as well as other non-Biology Sciences.
(0.5 FCE)
Exclusion: Any BIO course (except BIO211H5) taken previously or
concurrently.

Prerequisite: BIO202H5 / BIO204H5 / BIO210Y5
BIO318Y5 Y Animal Behaviour
This course will cover the adaptive (evolved) behaviours of organisms
that result from interactions with the biological environment. We ask
why animals behave in a particular way, i.e. how does their behaviour
enhance success in survival or reproduction? Examples involve adaptive
strategies in competing with rivals, choosing mates, and avoiding
parasites. We also ask how adaptive behaviour is controlled; what are
the genetic, developmental, and physiological mechanisms underlying
behaviour? Assignments involve observing and analyzing (suggesting
alternative explanations/ hypotheses) for behaviour, followed by a use
of these skills to critique a published scientific paper.
