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

A) Explain what is meant by group selection. (B) How is kin selection different
from group selection? (C) Give me an example of a type of social behavior that is
attributed to kin selection. (D) How does kin selection lead to the successful
evolution of this social behavior? (E) Is eusocial behavior dependent on kin
selection and if so why?

Earlier explanations of altruistic behavior as a form of group selec-tion have been supplanted by Hamilton’s hypothesis of kin selection. What distinguishes kin selection and how does it accord with the no-tion of inclusive fitness, the relative number of an individual’s alleles that pass to the next generation?
The 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?
What is the selective advantage to winners, as well as to losers, that aggressive encounters within species for social dominance are usu-ally ritualized displays or symbolic fights rather than unrestrained fights to death?
Consider the following argument: Altruistic behavior in groups of related individuals is most likely driven by kin selection since related individuals would share DNA. Which of the following pieces of evidence would be most likely to weaken this argument? Data showing that only distantly related individuals are most likely to perform altruistic behaviors in order to protect each other Data showing that food gifts are given more common among family members than between unrelated individuals in a group Data showing that individuals that share a higher percentage of DNA in a group tend to show the most altruistic behavior between themselves Data showing that the more frequent an allele of a gene occurs in a population, the more likely that population performs altruistic behaviors
Describe and give an example of a dominance hierarchy. What role does it play in social behavior? Give a human parallel, and describe its role in human society. Are the two roles similar? Why or why not? Repeat this exercise for territorial behavior in humans and in another animal.
According to Hamilton’s rule,(A) natural selection does not favor altruistic behavior thatcauses the death of the altruist.(B) natural selection favors altruistic acts when the resultingbenefit to the recipient, corrected for relatedness, exceedsthe cost to the altruist.(C) natural selection is more likely to favor altruistic behaviorthat benefits an offspring than altruistic behavior thatbenefits a sibling.(D) the effects of kin selection are larger than the effects ofdirect natural selection on individuals.
How much of our behavior is determined by our genes versus the environment? Provide two examples of why or why not.What do you think are the pros and cons for an individual if they believe genes determine their behaviors? What are the pros and cons for individuals if they believe nature determines their behaviors? What do you think are the implications for society if we put a lot of weight on nature or nurture?
Can Kin selection explain eusocialty?
You document altruism in an animal species that you are studying: female zebras running at the back of the group, closest to the pursuing predator, as the group runs to escape a predator. Both kin selection and reciprocal altruism can explain this behavior. What piece of evidence would support the hypothesis that it's kin selection?
What is individual variation? Provide specific types of individual variation of behavior
why do females have a greater disadvantage compared to males concerning sexual reproduction? How has this difference between the sex shape sexual selection in general? Choose one form of communication and explain how it is used by competing sex is attracting a mate.
What are indirect fitness benefits of siblicide? When would an individual gain more from siblicide than from inclusive fitness benefits? When might it be worth it for a subordinate to fight to the death with its dominant sibling?
