3. Behavioral ecology
4. Innate behavior
5. Taxis
- 1. everything an animal does and how it does it, and why
- 2. study of amimal behavior
- 3. study of behavior (as an adaptation) in the context of ecology (in the present) and evolution (over time)
- 4. under strong genetic influence (not learned)
- 5. automatic movement toward or away from stimulus
-
1. imprinting
2. sensitive periods
3. signal
4. communication
5. pheromones
- 1. type of learned behavior with a significant innate component, acquired during a limited sensitive period. (EX: Ducks following the mother out of the nest.)
- 2. periods in which an animal imprints on a caregiver, usually the first live thing they touch or see
- 3. behavior that causes a change in behavior in another animal
- 4. transmission of, reception of, and response signals;
- -visual acuity, auditory, chemical tactiles, and electrical cues
- - genetic and learned components
- 5. chemical that functions in communication and acts much like a hormone to influence physiology; behavior
- - courtship and mating

-
1. territory
2. agnostic behavior
3. promiscuous
4. monogamous
5. polygamous
- 1. area, usually fixed in location, that individuals defend against other members of the same species ( to guard resources such as food, nesting sites, and potential mates)
- 2. includes a variety of threats or actual combat that settles disputes between inidviduals in a population (over resources; mates)
- 3. no strong pair bonds or lasting relationships
- 4. one male mating with one female
- 5. individual of one sex mating with several of the other (monogamous animals exhibit less sexual dimorphism than polygamous animals)
-
1. inclusive fitness
2. coefficient of relatedness
3. learning
4. habituation
- 1. total effect individual has on proliferating its genes (own offspring plus helping other close relatives)
- 2. probability that if 2 individuals share parent or ancestor, a particular gene will also be shared
- 3. modification of behavior based on specific experiences
- 4. loss of responsiveness to stimuli that convey very little info (cry-wolf effect)
-
1. social learning
2. culture
3. associative learning
4. classical conditioning
5. operant conditioning
- 1. learning through observing others
- 2. system of info transfer through social learning that influences behavior within the population
- 3. ability to associate one feature of the enviornment with another
- 4. arbitrary stimulus associated with reward or punishment
- 5. animal learns to associate one of its own behaviors with reward or punishment (trial and error learning)
-
1. cognition
2. corvids and intelligence
3. Koko the Gorilla
- 1. ability of animal's nervous system to percieve, store, and process and use info gathered by sensory receptors.
- 2. Corvids are a member of the bird family Corvidae, including crows, ravens, jays, choughs, treepies etc and their intelligence includes: causual reasoning, innovation and tool use, imagnination, and planning ahead.
