Teaching

Members of the behaviour and ecology group are involved in a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching activities. Students make a vital contribution to our research output, and many student projects have resulted in publications in international peer-reviewed journals. Our second year Behavioural Ecology field course is a particular highlight (find out more here).
