PRIMATE NUTRITIONAL ECOLOGY

ANTHRO 444
课程描述

Comprehensive look at primate nutritional ecology. Topics include: nutrition in the context of animal foraging theory; anatomy and physiology of primate digestion; essential macronutrients, micronutrients, energy, and plant secondary compounds; field and laboratory methods used by primatologists to study primate nutrition; and how nutrition informs or intersects with primate reproduction, social behavior, disease and conservation. Discussion of the evolution of human nutrition and diet and how the study of nutrition in an evolutionary framework can inform the study of modern human health.

PRIMATE BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY

ANTHRO 458

Primate behavior examined from an evolutionary and ecological perspective, focusing on adaptations to the social and nonsocial environment. Topics include: nepotism, reciprocity, competition, cooperation, sex differences, the ecological role of primates in their communities, cognition, and conservation. Considers the major threats to primates today, and how behavioral adaptations and anthropogenic variables interact to affect the future survival of primates at local, regional, and global scales.

PRIMATE PSYCHOLOGY: INSIGHTS INTO HUMAN BEHAVIOR

PSYCH 450

Explore the psychology and biology of our closest living ancestors and how it can provide insights into human behavior and cognition. Learn how a variety of factors (ecological, evolutionary, developmental, and experiential) shape the variation we see across and within primate species. Topics include investigation of similarities and differences across taxa in development, learning, memory, evolution of the brain, spatial navigation, tool-use, social behavior, parental behavior, communication, self-recognition, and theory of mind, as well as ethical issues and conservation.

PRIMATE CONSERVATION

ANTHRO 668

Evaluates the conservation status of non-human primates, and considers why different species are vulnerable to different kinds of threats. The ways in which regional and global conservation policies are developed and implemented will also be discussed.

SEMINAR IN EVOLUTIONARY THEORY

ANTHRO 603

Examination of theory relevant to the evolution of humans and nonhuman primates including morphological, behavioral, and genetic aspects.

COMPARATIVE ANIMAL NUTRITION

ANSCI/DYSCI/NUTRSCI 311

Nutrients and their assimilation, function, and interactions that affect metabolism in mammals. Differences among species will be used to emphasize unique digestive and physiological functions and how these differences affect metabolism of nutrients. Humans will be used in some comparisons. Follows physiological progression of nutrients, starting with an overview of the digestive tract followed by water and builds on specific roles of nutrients and substrates needed to provide basic processes required for maintenance, tissue accretion, and homeostatic regulation of nutrients.
