The Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology Program (CABE) is an interdisciplinary graduate program focused on animal behaviour and behavioural ecology, designed to train students in behavioural research that

integrate developmental, physiological, cognitive, ecological and evolutionary levels of analysis. Some examples of ongoing research include social behaviour in insects and mammals, reproductive and migratory behaviour of fish, birds as environmental indicators, risk sensitive foraging (fear) in fish and ungulates, parental behaviour in seabirds and mammals, whale and seal behaviour, and human-animal interactions related to resource utilization, to mention a few.

Thesis supervisors are drawn from the Departments of Psychology, Biology and Ocean Sciences, the Environmental Science Division (Grenfell) and Marine Institute. Adjunct Professors from Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Newfoundland and Labrador Wildlife and Forestry Divisions and Parks Canada also contribute to student supervision and teaching.
