Question
Chapter 27, Problem 16BS
Summary Introduction
To construct: A poster to educate tourists as they enter the region, on behalf of an environmental conservation group.
Concept introduction: Elephant stampedes are impulsive movement of panic-struck elephants in masses. The elephants can be panic-struck because of high noises, earthquakes, and so forth. Victoria Falls is at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls is an important tourist spot in Zimbabwe and holds two national parks near it. The national parks include variety of wildlife like Angolan giraffe, African elephant, Cape buffalo, warthog, Burchell’s zebra, and many more.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why helicopter noise pollution is particularly detrimental to elephants and how a behavior change in elephants could affect other animals.

Based on what you know about how Serotonin and Octopamine function, do the results of the Octopamine injection make sense?
Results: After injecting the Octopamine, the crayfish showed aggressive behavior(either resident male or intruder female/male)
Why do you say so? What might explain your results?
Long-distance runners (26.2 miles) describe Runner’s High as a feeling of euphoria. It is often described as a feeling of being invincible and individuals claim a lost sense of time while running. Runner’s high is believed to be caused by very small molecules called endocannabinoids released by the brain that affect the way a person feels, moves, and reacts.
Based on the information above what you know of interacting systems, which of the following two are correct?
A. If the release of endocannabinoid molecules is increased, the runner will not experience the feeling of euphoria and will stop running.
B. The muscular system is not affected by the release of endocannabinoids, which are released by the nervous system.
C. If the function of the nervous system is compromised and endocannabinoids are not released, the function of the muscular system is affected and prolonged endurance will be jeopardized.
D. The release of endocannabinoids at the cellular level plays an indirect…

- The prefrontal cortex receives extensive input from the amygdala, and it uses information about emotion to make the final determination about whether to engage in a specific behavior. Bechara and his colleagues conducted a study on decision-making that compared healthy individuals to patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex. Which of the following statements about this research is FALSE? A) Over time, patients with prefrontal injuries did not produce anticipatory reactions (sweating) before making a "risky" decision. B) At first, both groups of individuals chose the "risky" option more often. C) Both the healthy individuals and the patients eventually switched to the "safer" option once they figured out how the game worked. D) Over time, healthy individuals began to produce a strong anticipatory reaction (sweating) before making a "risky" decision.arrow_forwardFish produce a hormone called isotocin, a hormone that is similar to oxytocin in mammals. Both hormones, oxytocin and isotocin, have been linked to social behaviors including the suppression of social anxiety, trust, and attachment. Prior to this study, the relationship between isotocin in the bloodstream and the amount of aggression or submission individual cichlid fish display was unknown. The researchers hypothesized that isotocin would suppress aggressive behaviors in cichlids to promote social cohesion as these fish exist in large social groups (schools). To address this hypothesis, each of 10 fish were exposed to two treatments, 1 week apart. One at a time, a fish was randomly selected from the group of 10 and either injected with a saline solution (that served as the control) or with isotocin. After this injection, the fish was returned to its group and the amount of aggressive and submissive behaviors the fish demonstrated was recorded for the next 10 minutes.

- You have received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study male signalling in peacock spiders. After your university takes most of that money for overhead costs, you now have a small amount left over to spend on peacock spider research over the next 3 years.

State a relevant hypothesis and explain briefly how you would go about testing it.arrow_forwardThe brown-nosed tweety bird can be found in both urban and wild environments. Researchers collected 100 birds from a forest, and divided them into two groups of 50 birds, each with 25 males and 25 females. One group was released into the forest and the other into a nearby city. After 1 year, a group of hardworking students collected all 100 birds and measured stress indices associated with signalling by their "stress glucocorticoid hormone", corticosterone (a steroid). They find that compared to the forest birds, the urban birds have greater levels of a stressed phenotype. Which of the following observations is MOST LIKELY to be part of the explanation for this observation? The urban birds have similar levels of corticosterone, but higher levels of the membrane receptor for this glucocorticoid The urban birds have genetic differences in their glucocorticoid receptor to give it higher affinity, making them more sensitive to corticosterone. The urban birds have lower expression of genes…arrow_forwardIt’s sometimes said that the reason an animal does something is that it’s “for the good of the species.” Why is this argument incorrect?arrow_forward
