The Department of Zoology and Entomology organises over 40 courses at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. The Department also delivers a number of remote courses over the internet through the Entomology Program. Many of these courses provide opportunities for international and study abroad students to be involved with ongoing research in Australia. The School of Integrative Biology page provides information on all of these courses.

The Behavioural Ecology Research Group is involved in the following courses:

Animal Behaviour (ZOOL3002) : This course addresses the complex world of animal behaviour from a variety of perspectives. Beginning with simple descriptions of interesting behaviours, the course progresses to discuss the physiological bases of behaviour, their functions and evolution. Students also get to experience "hands-on" behavioural research through a series of lab and field-based projects.

Rainforest Ecology Field Course (BIOL3015) : This field course takes place at the World Heritage listed Lamington National Park in southeast Queensland. Students participate in a number of group projects, including habitat assessments and small mammal trapping. Students also have the opportunity to design and conduct an independent project on a range of potential topics, including seed dispersal of rainforest trees, thermoregulation of rainforest reptiles, frog calls, and the complex behaviour of bowerbirds.

Outback Ecology Field Course (BIOL3016) : The Outback Ecology course focuses on plant and macropod ecology in semi-arid grasslands. Outdoor practical work, discussion and instruction is undertaken during a camping field trip to Idalia National Park in central Queensland. The course also includes a day trip to one of the park's Yellow-footed rock wallaby colonies.

Ecology Field Studies (BIOL2015) : This new course will run for the first time during Semester I 2009. It will mainly consist of a 6 day field trip on Fraser Island, where students will do a range of field projects including work on habitat associations, plants, vertebrates and other animals.

Coral Reef Ecology Field Studies (MARS3004) : This one-week field course is based at the University's Heron Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef. This course involves the multi-disciplinary study of coral reef systems and provides students with the unique opportunity to study coral reef ecology in the field. Students conduct large and small group projects on a range of topics.
