Module 07: Animal Adaptation & Behavior

Module 7 introduces the use of bioacoustics to measure bird behavior and how these behaviors change under different anthropogenic conditions. Students develop their own experimental design and compare their results to other studies on bird behavior. The module concludes with students using their findings to create a visual message that can be shared with the greater community to encourage people to change their behaviors in order to increase bird biodiversity.
