Concept explainers

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.

Question

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.

Scenario: Your best friend, who is a curator at a Natural History Museum calls you up one day to ask for your help identifying an unknown specimen she found in an unmarked box in a closet at the museum. In order to help her you know that you have to first identify some cranial traits present. Mark all of the traits that are present. Remember that the lack of a trait is just as informative! -occipital bun -sagittal crest -relatively large and pointy canines (compared to modern humans) -no sagittal crest -small cranial capacity with wide base (maximum cranial breadth is below the ears) -large cranial capacity (maximum cranial breadth is above the ear)
" Individuals can evolve and adapt." Please explain in detail why this is false and a misconception.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Consider how the adaptive value of sea turtle migration has changed if, as a result of human activities, migration now puts sea turtles at greater risk than if they restricted their habitat to a single location. Discuss the possible evolutionary mechanisms by which the behavior of these species may (or may not) adapt to these environmental pressures. What conservation efforts should we take to increase the probability of successful migration?

Part ii. What adaptations are associated with a gummivory diet? Give an example of a primate that has this diet. Part iii. What adaptations are associated with a frugivory diet? Give an example of a primate that has this diet. Part iv. What adaptations are associated with a folivory diet? Give an example of a primate that has this diet. Part v. What adaptations are associated with vertical clinging and leaping? Give an example of a primate that practices this form of locomotion.
The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in psychology. Explain the four environmental factors that may affect the growth and development of humans and their educational implications.
Is this evolutionary conservation of the pecten structure evidence that natural selection might be maintaining the pecten in its present form in many bird species? Is this theory one that suggests the pecten has a significant adaptive function in birds? Do you believe that experiments might be useful in determining the adaptive function of the pecten if it indeed serves an adaptive function? Outline a simple experiment to see whether the presence of a pecten in the bird's eye is an adaptation.
2. What does the text describe? a) experiments completed to analyze the differences and similarities between animals bred for certain traits and animals not bred for certain traits b) the attitudes of different societies to selective breeding c) different examples of animals that have evolved through adaptation to their surroundings d) different examples of selective breeding and the impact of selective breeding on some animals
Why nature keep optimizing behavioral traits of its creatures?
Many lines of evidence, including biochemical evidence, show that living birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. A number of dinosaur lineages had feathered dinosaurs, not just the lineage that includes living birds. Do you think that is it justified to believe that all feathered dinosaurs had behaviors known from living birds? Such behaviors of birds include colonial nesting, sexual displays by males using feathers, males moving to display their ornamental feathers to female mates. Give a brief reason for your answer.
Female parasitoid wasps search for insect hosts in which to lay eggs, and they can often discriminate among individual hosts that are more or less suitable for their offspring. Behavioral ecologists have asked whether or not the wasps’ willingness to lay eggs in less suitable hosts varies with the female’s age. On the basis of life history theory, what pattern of change would you predict? Does life history theory make any other predictions about animal behavior?
The biological variation in living primates provides models for understanding A. Morphology, behavior, adaptation in the evolutionary past, and alternative forms of classification B.
