My current teaching includes courses in Animal Behavior (Z 350/ BI 350), taught from physiological, sociobiological and evolutionary perspectives, two graduate courses in Environmental Science (ENSC 515 & 520) where current issues in Environmental Science are critically examined and a portion of General Biology (BI 211) concerning animal diversity.
