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.

adapted from What Is That Bird?by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The first step in bird identification is learning to observe. Watch, listen, and record your observations in a journal using descriptive words and sketches, or photograph birds to capture a permanent, detailed image that you can study later. If you are just starting to watch birds, consider familiarizing yourself with the ones that you see daily. What are their general characteristics? Are they big or small, colorful or drab? Do they sit still or flit from branch to branch? Then, try comparing new birds that you see with the common birds that you already know. Is your new discovery the size of a sparrow, a robin, or a crow? Is its bill short or long, hooked or straight? Learning the basic form and structure, or morphology, of a bird will help you to make comparisons of birds. Concentrate on the shape and size of the beak, including the relative size of the upper and lower beak; length of the outer tail…

1) Think back to the example of ovenbird evoluon in South America. Ovenbirds are a diverse family of small, insect-eang birds that live mainly in South America. Different ovenbird species have adapted to rocky ocean shorelines, snowy mountains, scorched deserts and tropical rainforests. Like finches, ovenbirds have a variety of beak sizes and shapes, an important indicator of food preference that makes them ideal for studying evoluon. In ovenbirds, "some [beaks] are long and down-curved, like a scythe, for probing into crevices in tree bark and others have short dagger-like bills." What conclusions did the researchers reach? A) ovenbirds are diverse because they do not share any common ancestors B) ovenbirds because successful because they are not native to the area and could easily colonize the area C) birds have different beaks that help them exploit different resources and avoid competition 2) One ant species from Africa is best at competing for space, but is worse at colonizing a…
