We are pleased to announce the pre-congress workshop “How to analyze and quantify animal behavior with specific software”, which will be held at the FALAN meeting in Cancun, Mexico, November 3 – 4, 2012. The instructors of this course will be Dr. Dan Blumstein (Professor and Chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,
University of Los Angeles, California), Dr. Angel I Melo and Dr. Kurt Leroy Hoffman (Professors, Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala, México). We will focus on how to use the free software for registering and analyzing behavior, called “JWatcher”, which was developed by Dr. Dan Blumstein and is freely available to download from the internet
