Concept explainers
(a)
To classify:
The nine behaviors listed in Pull It Together and to connect the map as triggered by the animals of same species or a different species.
Concept introduction:
There are two facts that when combined together contributes to the understanding of animal behavior. They are innate abilities and learnings from the life. These two factors are in turn, controlled by the genes and experiences of life. Genes are the major reason for the control of almost all the activities of life, but they are governed by the experiences from life.
(b)
To determine:
The nine behaviors listed in Pull It Together and to connect the map as triggered by the parts by an animal of same species

(c)
To determine:
The nine behaviors listed in Pull It Together and to connect the map as triggered by the parts only by animals of a different species.

Biology: Concepts and Investigations
- Animals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy. Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each) Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful. What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)arrow_forwardWhich research question does not refer to proximate causes of behavior? a.) How do rhesus macaques find their food? b.) how do pigeons that are experimentally displaced find their way back to their home loft? c.) How does dispersal affect the survival of Belding's ground squirrels? d.) Do mother goats learn the odor of their offspring? e.) How do hummingbirds “know” when it is time to return to their overwintering grounds?arrow_forwardA genetically inherited, complex pattern of behavior that always appears among members of a particular speciesunder appropriate environmental conditions is a(n)a. reflex.b. instinct.c. drive.d. needarrow_forward
- 1) choose a unique behavior or a defining biological feature of the animal; 2) describe at least one distinct ecological condition(s) affecting the species/population (e.g. habitat type where they are found; food resource or prey item; etc.) 3. explain why these ecological and physiological trait(s) are vital to the survival and persistence of the animal population. Put emphasis on the importance of adaptation to the environment and the development of these traits.arrow_forwardWhich of the following does not describe a function of aggressive animal behavior? A. Aggressive behavior leads to fights that allow strong animals kill off weaker members of the species. B. Aggressive behavior is displayed to establish hierarchy without violence. C. Aggressive behavior is displayed to establish territorial boundaries. D. Aggressive behavior is displayed to determine who is allowed to mate.arrow_forwardExplain from the standpoint of relatedness, that there is no reason to think that either bonobo society or chimpanzee society is a better model for human behavior.arrow_forward
- 1. Among the Categories of Human Behavior, select one that is most significant to you and explain why 2. On the side is a diagram. What is your interpretation on this? How do you think this relates to our theorist, Myra Levine?arrow_forwardThe idea that behavior must be either innate or learned has been called a “nature versus nurture” controversy. What reasons are there for believing that such a strict dichotomy does not exist?arrow_forwardCooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following: 1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals 2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.arrow_forward
- Hamilton's Rule describes the relationship between cost and relationship in the evolution of altruistic behavior. Which of the following do not support Hamilton's rule: In colonies of Naked Mole Rates, only one female is reproductive. Cattle egrets sometimes kill their siblings. Wood mouse sperm will sacrifice themselves to assist a "sibling" sperm to fertilize an egg. O A Prairie Dog trills in response to an oncoming predator and is more likely to be eaten because it exhibits this behavior.arrow_forwardEvolutionary biology What are 4 conditions in which natural selection favors altruistic behaviors in which the individual performs costly actions to benefit others?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of innate behaviors that are described as instincts? A. Instincts aren’t governed by genetics, while innate behaviors are, B. Instincts are governed by genetics, while innate behaviors are not, C. Instincts are sudden, situational behaviors, D. Instincts are complex series of innate behaviorsarrow_forward
