FRESHMAN SEMINARS
FYS 001 WQ Domestic Cat Cognition and Behavior (1) Seminar.
Course description (seminar): Research into the behavior and cognitive abilities of the domestic cat (Felis catus): stress responses in cats, predation by cats on wildlife, human-cat interactions and communication. Practical applications of knowledge on feline cognition and behavior to welfare, human-animal interactions, and conservation.
FYS 001 FQ Canine Cognition: Current understanding and application of cognitive abilities of domestic dogs (1) Seminar.
