Simulation Games for Animal Behavior: Red Fish, Blue Fish; Exploring Sexual Selection and Color Polymorphism

This game is one of three submitted for use in an upper level course that focuses on animal behavior. The games are paired with a published article from the primary literature, and students should read and prepare to both discuss the article and explore the hypotheses on which the studies have been based. This active learning helps to engage students in the course material and especially to see how concepts relate to real scientific studies.
