Indiana University - Bloomington

We are pleased to announce the formation of a new Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior at Indiana University and a new interdisciplinary Program in Animal Behavior.

At Indiana University we have assembled 15 productive scientists whose research concerns and commitment to training in animal behavior cross the boundaries of their disciplines. Our faculty represent six subdisciplines: sensory physiology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, developmental psychobiology, animal learning, and behavioral neuroscience. Our expertise ranges from analyses of neuronal function and connections, through modeling of behavior in terms of optimization and dynamical systems, to field experiments on the behavior of free-living animals. We work with diverse organisms, including rabbits, bats, rodents, birds, amphibians, fish, molluscs, flies, and wasps, in a variety of settings.

Together we form a Research Training Group (RTG) in the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior supported by the National Science Foundation and Indiana University and designed to prepare the brightest students for productive and exciting careers in the science of animal behavior.
