Concept explainers

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.

1. The benefit of fighting for a territory is 12 reproductive units, and the cost is 8 reproductive units. Should you be hawk or dove? b. The benefit of fighting for a territory is 12 reproductive units, and the cost is 8 reproductive units. What is your benefit if you play hawk and your opponent plays dove?

A new species is discovered in which males care for offspring after birth, and females leaves the nest immediately. In this species, males are likely to A. Have more offsprings overall than females. B. Have fewer offspring overall than females. C. Be promiscuous. D. Have lower parental investment.
In seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor
In Biology of Beauty, Cowley found that contemporaryfemales are attracted to males with broad foreheads and strong chins, and that this effect persisted across different cultures. How did Cowley explain this result? A. This is a trick question- this attraction is culturally relative B. Males compete for access to females by developing these features as a form of male-male competition C. There is no evidence that females really are differentially attracted to males with these features D. Attraction to males with these features is adaptive for females because males with these traits are usually sexually mature and have healthy immune systems E. Only some human cultures value these traits as attractive.
