The Sub-Department of Animal
Behaviour is part of the Zoology Department of Cambridge University,
and is situated in the village of Madingley, four miles west
of Cambridge.
The Sub-Department was founded
in 1950 by W. H. Thorpe and initially consisted of a four
acre site and a simple Nissen Hut. It has grown considerably
since then and is now a well-equipped and spacious centre
for animal behaviour research, with a focus on behavioural
neuroscience.
As well as members of the Zoology
Department, we also host researchers from the Experimental
Psychology Department of Cambridge University.
Some of the world's best-known
ethologists have worked here: see the History
and Past Members pages.
