Summary Introduction
To add:
The terms foraging, kin selection, habituation, eusocial animals, imprinting, fixed action pattern, inclusive fitness and reciprocal altruism to the connect map of pull it together.
Concept introduction:
There are certain terms that are related to animal behavior like the kin selection which means that it is a behavior which tells the reason of why animals sacrifice their life for the sake of their close relatives. Similarly, there are other terms like reciprocal altruism, foraging and so on.
