Question
Chapter 53.9, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which phylogenies can reveal the evolutionary history of behavior.
Introduction: The connection between the organisms and evolution can be determined through the construction of morphological and molecular data. The newly evolved organisms adapt the better characteristics in comparison to previous organisms to survive according to the conditions of the environment where they live.

Animal behaviour of a horse at a farm: Gentle swishing of tail to ward off insects, and occasional stomping of feet. Describe the animal’s decision-making process concerning that behaviour. Questions: • How much time/effort is spent on the focal behaviour relative to other behaviours (time allocated, intensity, etc.)? • Did the behaviour change under certain environmental contexts? Discuss the adaptive value: • How does the focal behaviour impact fitness of the animal? • What are the costs/benefits of the behaviour under different environmental contexts? • Is the animal’s decision-making optimal with regards to costs/benefits? • Relate back to previous questions Do a great job at describing how the behaviour impacts the fitness of the animal. Discuss competing factors, such as…arrow_forwardThe adaptive value is a measure of the evolutionary impacts of a behaviour, i.e. the ultimate function of a behaviour (what purpose it serves) in order to maximize fitness (survival and/or reproduction).
