Sue Margulis, PhD, chair of the animal behavior, ecology and conservation (ABEC) program, co-edited a new book, Exploring Animal Behavior in Laboratory and Field 2nd Edition. As a member of the Animal Behavior Society for more than 40 years, Margulis hopes this volume will be “used widely in the teaching of animal behavior.”
The completion of this book faced many unique challenges during the pandemic and a lot of credit goes to Margulis and all of the contributors of this volume for their efforts. Faced with difficult times, they made the best of their situation and a lot of the chapters were made to include guidance on how activities could be used in remote and online formats.

This can allow you to discuss the Message right on your Course Homepage. You can also create or link Dropboxes to the Activity Feed. This can allow students to make comments on the Activity Feed if they have questions about the Dropbox.
