Dmmetler Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 L is working on a new class sequence for Athena's focused on animal behavior, and is working through college course materials over Spring Break to try to decide what should be included. So, I've been asked to ask if anyone's kids have ideas 😉. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Also, does anyone have any good sites for bio/psych interactives that aren't paywalled or at least are inexpensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes+Ships+SealingWax Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Animal sensation & perception could be a cool one. So many animals experience the world vastly differently than we do thanks to higher sensitivities to various stimuli (seeing in a different spectrum, magnetic sensitivity, pheromones, etc).  Animal learning & community behavior could be another. How do animals glean information to one another? How do they pass information between generations, or between distinct groups (two different herds, for example)? Where is the line between following instinct & learning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintosrock Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Cross species communication. There's a farm near us that has goats and horses together, but the llamas/alpacas are in a separate field, apparently because they don't understand each other's communications (ear pinning vs spitting) I find it interesting that goats and horses can understand each other, but not horses and llamas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
