Behavior
• Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus
![Page 3: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The study of how animals behave– Particularly in their natural environment
Ethology

How Questions vs. Why Questions
• Proximate causation – how does a behavior occurs?
• Ultimate causation – why has a behavior evolved?

Innate Behavior
• Fixed behaviors in a population
![Page 6: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• A simple behavioral process that is triggered by a sign stimulus– Ex: aggressive behavior in ♂ sticklebacks
Fixed Action Patterns

Orientated Movement
• Kinesis– Random movement in response to stimulus– Ex: Paramecium slow down and turn more
often in the presence of bacteria (food)

Orientated Movement
• Taxis– Direct movement toward/away from stimulus– Ex: American Cockroach hides from light

Migration
• Regular long distance change in location– Sun (moves) or North Star (clouds)– Magnetic Field
• Magnetite in brain or Visualize magnetic field

Communication
• Honeybees perform the waggle dance to communicate the location of food sources

Communication
• Pheromones– Ex: alarm or reproductive

Learned Behavior
• Modification of behavior based upon specific experiences
![Page 13: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Habituation
• A loss of responsiveness to stimuli that convey little or no new information– Ex: prairie dog alarm call in human presence
![Page 14: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Associative Learning
• Ability to associate one environmental feature with another– Ex: Mouse associates color/taste
![Page 15: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The process of recognizing and following the first moving object encountered during a “sensitive period” of life (learned/innate)
Imprinting
![Page 16: Behavioral Ecology Ch. 51. Behavior Response of a muscle or gland under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e585503460f94b51e35/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Imprinting
• Scientists often wear costumes to prevent human imprinting with endangered species

Cognition & Problem Solving
• The process of knowing by awareness, reasoning, recollection & judgment.– Ex: primates learn how to use tools
