Responses of Animals to the External Environment

Through close observation of our species, students explore intraspecific behaviours and interspecific interactions. Learners examine the selective advantages of these behaviours, building a clear understanding of ecological niches, mating systems, and reproductive strategies. This field based experience provides rich, authentic examples that strengthen students’ grasp of complex ecological and behavioural responses.
