| | Behavioural Ecology Research Group |
 | | Behavioural ecology is the study of the relationships between an organism's behaviour and the environment in which that behaviour has evolved or is expressed. | | | The Behavioural Ecology Research Group was established at SFU in February 1989 to pursue basic research in the field of evolutionary and behavioural ecology, utilizing a wide range of study organisms, including plants, insects and other invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals (including humans). | | | Behavioural ecologists study both the function of behaviour (why animals and plants behave as they do), and the role of behaviour in determining population dynamics and community patterns, since these are two sides of the same coin. |

| | Behavioural and physiological ecology of hibernation in chipmunks. | | | Behavioural ecology is concerned with the function or adaptive significance of animal behaviour, the discovery of general principles relating behaviour to the environment in which it occurs, and the application of those general principles to understand the distribution and abundance of animal populations. | | | I was a founding co-editor (with Staffan Ulfstrand) of the journal Behavioral Ecology, and I co-hosted (with Luc-Alain Giraldeau) ISBE2002, the bienniel meeting of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology in Montreal. |

| | BS34320 - BEHAVIOURAL ECOLOGY |
| | The implications of behavioural ecological studies for the husbandry and welfare of domestic and captive animals are introduced, and the necessity to apply knowledge gained from behavioural ecology studies to conservation and biological control programmes discussed. | | | Emphasis is placed on the critical analysis of the adaptive significance of behaviour, and on the importance of behavioural ecology for the conservation, management and welfare of animals. | | | The functional analysis of parental behaviour illustrates the problem of co-operation and conflict between parents, and between parents and offspring, and the examination of host-parasite and mutualistic relationships extends these analyses to inter-specific interactions. |

| | Behavioural Ecology Research Group |
| | Ecology, psychology and evolutionary theory are all present both in the selection of research questions and in the nature of the explanations submitted. | | | The common thread of my rather diversified research is the attempt to marry theories and experimental work. | | | Although it is less obvious from the publication list, I have a strong interest in philosophical and social implications of ethology, and would engage gladly in any unsolvable argument raised in these areas. |

| | Experiments in behavioural ecology and the real worldHannu Ylönen a hylonen |
| | Born as a child of comparative ecology and ethological methodology, experimental behavioural ecology walks the edge between mimicking natural environments and using manipulative reductionist approaches to control appropriate variables for testing specific hypotheses. | | | Several paradigms in evolutionary and behavioural ecology that persist in the literature or in textbooks are based mainly or solely on laboratory studies. | | | There are several examples of possible misinterpretations or current controversy in behavioural ecology that were derived from laboratory studies and lack confirmation from natural situations. |

| | Those concerned with behavioural ecology need to be aware of the implications and applications of basic theory. | | | Considerable progress has been made over the past decade in understanding how behaviour, ecology, and genetics interact to determine individual survival and reproductive success in fishes, and thus the evolution of their behaviour. | | | The text will benefit all those with a general interest in behavioural ecology, especially students, teachers, and researchers interested in the behaviour and ecology of fishes. |

| | Pheromones and chemical ecology of locusts |
| | The ecology in terms of the advantages of an individual in reception of the gregarization pheromone from a group of gregarious and pre-migrating locusts is discussed. | | | The physiological, morphological, and behavioural aspects of pheromone studies will be integrated with concepts of ecology with the idea of developing control strategies. | | | This situation is ill-advised if basic studies of behaviour and ecology, with regard to modern principles, have not been well investigated in the field. |

| | At the workshop itself, which all sections of the class attend together, a visiting speaker presents you with a piece of behavioural ecology that is in some way paradoxical. | | | Because it is an all-purpose animal behaviour text it contains chapters not relevant to behavioural ecology, but chapters 7-16 are well worth studying. | | | You are asked to tackle research problems from first principles such that you will learn where the questions come from in the first place, and see how hypotheses are formulated and tested by trying to formulate and test your own. |

| | Both behavioural ecology and evolutionary ecology are relatively young fields of research in zoology, although their roots can be traced back to Darwin and the beginning of modern biology. | | | Research in behavioural and evolutionary ecology addresses the question of how thebehaviour and life-history strategies of organisms have evolved in the context of their ecology. | | | Research is conducted in the field and laboratory, using behavioural, experimental parasitological, and molecular techniques. |

| | Recent inclusion of behaviour of organisms into life history theory have changed some of the classic paradigms in life history ecology and lead to a rapid development in the field. | | | Flexible growth mediated by behavioural adjustments of organisms provide a prominent example on how behavioural ecology and life history theory have jointly been used in great success to more realistically predict trajectories for species development and ultimately species fitness patterns. | | | Model predictions suggest a substantial change of life history patterns if state variables important for life history (physiology, age and size at maturation) are mediated by the behavioural decisions of organisms. |
