Description
During the past decade, research focused on animal behavior and ecology has greatly expanded at BSU. Though our research species, departments and settings vary, shared concerns and overlapping approaches will be brought together with this panel. Including research conducted in both field and captive situations, panelists will showcase their own scholarly work, explore their rationale behind doing animal research, and share how concerns and safeguards for animal welfare are built into their studies. Apes, bats, reptiles, amphibians and bees, oh my! Topics will include what we have learned about animal behavior and intelligence, global climate and environmental change, disease, genetics, habitat destruction, the importance of biodiversity conservation and much more.
