Homing and navigation in salmon (across developmental stages; e.g., from stream to ocean and back to home stream)

List some challenges associated with studying the genetics of behavior, and explain how linkage analysis, microarrays, and genome-wide association studies address some of those challenges

The table below contains results from an experiment comparing the response time of individuals to an auditory and visual prompt. Compare the results using a t-test and determine if there is a difference between the two tests. If you detected a difference what do you think is responsible for that difference? Visual Auditory 0.599 0.402 0.4575 0.296 0.178 0.135 0.5895 0.235 0.502 0.208 0.214 0.216 0.4457 0.200 0.485 0.224 0.399 0.25 0.462 0.288 0.283 0.210

1. Outline the steps of an experiment to prove that photosynthesis occurs with both light dependent and light independent phases. What are the materials needed and what is the expected outcome? Include a diagram to support your answer.

Write a essay in the form of an introduction to the research area of the topic 'Neuroscience of social behaviour'. write an overview of 4 research articles explaining the contribution of these articles to research in the topic area.  the 4 research articles are:   orebrain control of behaviorally-driven social orienting in zebrafish by Sarah J. Stednitz perceptual mechanisms of social affiliation in zebrafish by Ana Rita nunes1 Genetic variation in the social environment affects behavioral phenotypes of oxytocin receptor mutants in zebrafish by Diogo Ribeiro1 Biological Motion as an Innate Perceptual Mechanism Driving Social Affiliation by Johannes Larsch

What are the key behavioral characteristics of the patas monkey? For example, preferred habitat, activity pattern (diurnal, nocturnal), ecology, diet (insectivore, gumivore, frugivore, folivore, etc.) locomotor pattern or patterns, and social structure. Include observations of sexual dimorphism if present in this species.

Which form of conditioning is used most for behavior modification? Why does this form work better? Why would Classical Conditioning help someone in their daily life functioning? Which form of conditioning would you most likely see in a classroom setting? Create your own examples of each form of conditioning. Be sure to include the following information in your answer. In addressing classical conditioning: Identify UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. Discuss any stimulus generalization that you observed. Discuss any extinction and spontaneous that occurred. In addressing operant conditioning: Identify negative and positive reinforcements and punishments. Label the schedule of reinforcement or punishment.

Which of the following is LEAST consistent with how behavior tends to evolve? Changes to underlying neural mechanisms, such as neurotransmitter receptors that affect motivation, can result in major changes in behavioral phenotypes Tweaks to the developmental process, such as play or learning, can cause evolutionary divergence in behavior Changes in the properties of sensory receptors can shift preferences and choices Variation in the gene for a given behavior results in population divergence   Why are there biases in learning processes? The initial neural structure underlying learning may not allow every possible learned association Some cues are more likely than others to be associated with particular things, which has shaped the evolution of neural networks that represent the world Reducing the range of possible things a brain can learn can be one way to reduce the costs of learning All of the above

Discuss the different types of mimicry.

An experiment with squirrels revealed that they make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed near them. When a red cube, about the same size as an owl is placed there, there seems to be no alarm. Which of the following best explains this reaction? The owl model is the ultimate cause of alarm vocalization behavior. The owl model, but not the red cube, triggers the fixed action pattern of alarm vocalizations. The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000
