| Description: | Scientists, as well as philosophers, have always asked why animals and people behave as they do. Behaviour involves a wide range of traits from animal communication, foraging, sexual behaviour, social organization, and cognition. Research into behaviour ranges from analyses involving hormone levels and gene expression through to addressing broad questions such as the functions that behaviour serves, how behaviour develops, and how did specific behaviours evolve. |
