Specialization program Behavioural Ecology in the Master Environmental Biology: course home page.
This specialization program is research oriented and is designed for students with an interest in animal behaviour in relation to ecology, social behaviour, conservation and welfare. The Behavioural Ecology program takes a multi-level approach to understanding the causes and consequences of behaviour, with integration of evolutionary and proximate approaches. Students can join the research programs of the groups Behavioural Biology (Biology, Utrecht University), Ethology & Welfare (Veterinary Sciences, Utrecht University), the Netherlands Institute for Ecology (NIOO) and the Centre for Research and Conservation of the KMDA at Antwerp Zoo. You can work on research topics such as: 'social cognition and behaviour', 'social learning and animal innovation', 'ecology of animal personalities', 'animal migration and ecosystem connectivity', 'animal welfare' and 'zoo breeding programs and wildlife conservation'. The program provides a unique multi-disciplinary approach to animal behaviour, with work covering a variety of taxa (particularly primates, birds, and fish).
