»behavioural endocrinology is the study of hormones and their impact on behaviour
neuroethology is the study of how the nervous system translates biological relevant stimuli into behaviours in natural settings
correct and neither of which has a single dedicated-course. They are usually included in other courses. E.g pyschobiology, evolutionary genetics, molecular genetics
lol when i took evolutionary genetics it might as well have been a mathematics course
idkbro, i guess i'm lucky in that my university (virginia tech) offers a lot of semester-long courses in specific areas.
things i've taken that are highly specific at the graduate or undergraduate level in our biology department:
neurochemical regulation (4XXX)
behavioural endocrinology (5XXX)
disease ecology (5XXX)
insect structure/function (5XXX)
ethology (4XXX)
neuroethology (5XXX)
chemical ecology (5XXX)
aquatic entomology (4/5XXX)
medical/veterinary entomolgy (3XXX)
random specific things that are currently on our timetable:
food microbiology
social behavior of birds and mammals
inflammation biology
cancer biology
quantitative ecology
we also have separate courses for
microbiology
microbial genetics
microbial physiology
pathogenic bacteriology
environmental microbiology
virology
i enjoy it, i'd rather go in-depth in a specific area of interest than overview a group of interrelated fields.
