I am planning a course on Behavioural Ecology. I hope to capture student's
interest by organising tutorial discussions around areas of current research
controversy. I would like to ask netters which current theories in behavioural
ecology or animal behaviour they consider to be the most controversial and/or
the most interesting? Similarly, if you were to teach an introductory course
in behavioural ecology, but because of time constraints could only give three
one hour lectures, what would you cover in those lectures?
Thanks in advance.
