Intro

2. You identify an environmental trigger. What is the BEST approach to address the behavior? Ignore the behavior Use restraints Ask them to change their behavior Modify or adapt the environment

Value of one more item to you declines the more items you have…Explain this statement in the context of behavioral ecology.

Which of the following is associated with attitude formation? a. group membership d. child rearing b. mass media e. all of the preceding c. chance conditioning f. a and d only

The field of behavioral ecology asks which question?a. Is behavior hereditary?b. Is behavior adaptive?c. Is behavior modified by experience?d. Is behavior developmentally determined?

1a. What is harm-reduction policy making? 1b. What is punitive policy making? 1c. How is Harm-reduction policy making different than punitive policy making? 1d. Give one example based on example behavior?

Describe the factors that affects the pro-environmental behavior.

Describe how Serian crane, bears, and wasp behavior has allowed them to survive (adapt to weather changes). Be sure to note of the behavior is learned or innate

In what type of learning does an animal learns to associate one of its own behaviors with a positive or negative effect.? Group of answer choices Social learning Problem solving Habituation Spatial learning Associative learning

Give correct typing answer with explanation and conclusion

Note a particular animal behaviour at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, (eg. chickens, cows, horses, sheep) on at least four (4) different occasions, taking note of the animal’s targeting (observed) behaviour, as well as any other competing or associated behaviours that may have an impact on that animal’s decision-making processes while under your observation. Your total observation time over the 4 periods must add up to at least 2 hours of data. Keep a log of these observations and also do a 1-page report attempting to describe the adaptive value of the behaviour that you observed. For clarification, the 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).  IMPORTANTShould include:1) Field notes2) 1-page report on adaptive value   Data gathering and note collection Ensure that notes are well organized and clear.

i. Actors and recipients are characterised by increased reproductive success in mutually beneficial interactions. ii. Actors benefit and recipients incur costs (i.e., are harmed) in selfish interactions. iii. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients benefit in altruistic interactions. iv. Actors incur costs (i.e., are harmed) and recipients incur greater costs in spiteful interactions.v. Hamilton's rule can be used to show that an allele encoding altruistic behaviour could be favoured;  spiteful behavior, however, never can evolve.   Question 1 options:   A)  Statements i, ii, and iii convey accurate information.   B)  Statements i, ii, iii, and v convey accurate information.   C)  Only statement v conveys inaccurate information.   D)  Statements ii, iii, iv, and v convey accurate information.   E)  All statements convey accurate…

Whatis not included in the defining characteristics of eusociality?a.Reproductive and non-reproductive castesb.Intrasexual selection of matesc.Multi-generational cohabitationd.Cooperative care of younge.All are defining characteristics

Enumerate the organs or parts of the pig involved in each of the behaviors. For example, in eating, the parts that are involved are the tongue, mouth, etc.

Note a horse animal behaviour at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa on at least four (4) different occasions, taking note of the animal’s targeting (observed) behaviour, as well as any other competing or associated behaviours that may have an impact on that animal’s decision-making processes while under your observation. Your total observation time over the 4 periods must add up to at least 2 hours of data. Keep a log of these observations. Ensure that notes are well organized and clear. A strong focus on the adaptive value, while keeping track of other events and behaviours. Good record keeping of dates, times and conditions.

Which of the following is LEAST consistent with how behavior tends to evolve? Changes to underlying neural mechanisms, such as neurotransmitter receptors that affect motivation, can result in major changes in behavioral phenotypes Tweaks to the developmental process, such as play or learning, can cause evolutionary divergence in behavior Changes in the properties of sensory receptors can shift preferences and choices Variation in the gene for a given behavior results in population divergence   Why are there biases in learning processes? The initial neural structure underlying learning may not allow every possible learned association Some cues are more likely than others to be associated with particular things, which has shaped the evolution of neural networks that represent the world Reducing the range of possible things a brain can learn can be one way to reduce the costs of learning All of the above

The“unsuccessful mutualists” in Kathleen Keeler’s cost-benefit model ofmutualism are those that:a.give benefits to their partner, but fail to receive benefits in return.b.receive benefits from their partner, but fail to provide benefits inreturn.c.neither give benefits to their partner, nor receive them in return.d.fail to locate individuals of their mutualistic partner effectively.e.locate mutualistic partners, but fail to overcome their defenses againstcolonization.

What is the human behavioral ecology model perspective?

Define behavioral ecology and provide an example.

Note a cow  animal behaviour at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa on at least four (4) different occasions, taking note of the animal’s targeting (observed) behaviour, as well as any other competing or associated behaviours that may have an impact on that animal’s decision-making processes while under your observation. Your total observation time over the 4 periods must add up to at least 2 hours of data. Keep a log of these observations. Ensure that notes are well organized and clear. A strong focus on the adaptive value, while keeping track of other events and behaviours. Good record keeping of dates, times and conditions.

Distinguish between proximate and ultimate causes of behavior and apply theconcepts of ultimate cause and cost–benefit analysis to decide whether a particularbehavior is adaptive.
