了解動物行為引發之機制；與個體生存及生殖之關係以及行為之演化。
1.引發行為之機制： 行為與遺傳物質之關係；經驗，學習與環境對行為之影響；神經，感覺，運動及內分泌系統，對行為之影響；行為之形成與發展。
2.行為與個體生存及生殖之關係： 動物之週期性行為；方位判定之重要性，方法與機制；各種覓食策略介紹；禦敵行為；性擇 與生殖行為；各種擇配，配對及親子關係模式介紹。
3.社會性行為介紹： 領域行為；動物間之訊息傳遞；game theory 簡介；群居行為；利他行為及可能之演化途徑， 社會性昆蟲之行為及演化；訊息之特性及演化。

Understand the mechanisms that trigger animal behavior; its relationship with individual survival and reproduction, as well as the evolution of behavior.
1. The mechanism that triggers behavior: the relationship between behavior and genetic material; the influence of experience, learning and environment on behavior; the influence of nervous, sensory, motor and endocrine systems on behavior; the formation and development of behavior.
2. The relationship between behavior and individual survival and reproduction: cyclical behavior of animals; the importance, methods and mechanisms of orientation determination; introduction to various foraging strategies; enemy defense behavior; sexual selection and reproductive behavior; introduction to various mating selection, pairing and parent-child relationship models.
3. Introduction to social behavior: territorial behavior; message transmission between animals; introduction to game theory; social behavior; altruistic behavior and possible evolutionary pathways; behavior and evolution of social insects; characteristics and evolution of messages.
