Chapter 26, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
Four senses through which communication in animals take place, examples of each type of communication, advantages, and disadvantages of each form of communication.
Introduction:
The communication can be defined as the broadcasting of information, in which the signals are produced by one organism of a species which is received by another organism of the same species. This might lead to alteration in the behavior of receiver organism.

Comment on limitations of animal communication compared with those of human communication.
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.

Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding. Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing. Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input.

- Which of the following statements is true regarding the impact of the environment on snake behavior? In wet climates, a snake is more active because it does not lose as much heat via evaporation. In hot weather, a snake is more active because it can gain body heat by conduction. In cold weather, a snake is less active because the food supply is decreased. In dry climates, a snake is less active because there is less moisture in the air.arrow_forwardThere are three chief ideas of the handicap principle: 1) Animals communicate with éach other throughn sigi must be honest, and 3) honest signals are expensive. Stotting behavior (up and down jumps gazelles exhibit when they spot a predator before the gazelle runs away) often results in the predator leaving before it attacks, presumably because the predator knows it won't easily catch that gazelle. This clearly is an example of the handicap principle based on the three ideas.
