Behaviors and their underlying neural substrates have evolved in response to specific environmental conditions, resulting in vast species diversity in behavioral and neuroendocrine solutions to environmental problems. Designed to explore the primary literature on the neuroendocrine underpinnings of behavior spanning from feeding to sex differences in complex social behaviors. A range of taxonomic groups will be discussed, including (but not limited to) mammals, birds, and fish. ### requirements text ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  101,ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY/​BOTANY  151,BIOCORE 383or
