Chapter 44, Problem 6TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The three examples describing how the sensory abilities of an animal correlate with its habitat and method of finding mates and food.
Introduction:
The sensory abilities of animals help in their survival in many ways. The animals can easily detect food and mates using different sensory stimuli. Furthermore, sensory abilities also give the animals an added advantage to survive in the competitive environment.

- Explain how predators affect the adaptations of their prey.arrow_forwardA study was done to see why crickets chirp and the reactions to stimulus that caused the audible sound to occur. Throughout the experiment they tested how a target (male) cricket interacts with different stimuli in the form of both male and female cricket. Their methods revolved around getting quantitive data on three separate behaviors that occurred in the target male: locomotion(any time the target did a continuous movement), contact(counted when the target touched a stimulus with any part of its body), and chirping(audible, chirp sound with leg or wing movement from the target). The target was rotated each test, so each data point came from a different cricket with the female stimulus, being the same each time, and their previous target becoming the male stimulus. They would place the two male crickets in the target bin and let them acclimate for two minutes before they began collecting data from the target for three minutes. Then the female stimulus was placed in the bin and left…arrow_forwardAn experiment with squirrels revealed that they make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed near them. When a red cube, about the same size as an owl is placed there, there seems to be no alarm. Which of the following best explains this reaction? The owl model is the ultimate cause of alarm vocalization behavior. The owl model, but not the red cube, triggers the fixed action pattern of alarm vocalizations. The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000arrow_forward
- What three groups of stimuli influence short-term regulation of feeding behavior?arrow_forwardVisual Literacy Connection Нear How do elephants respond to stimuli? When animals receive a stimulus, or a nerve signal, the signal is sent to their brain. The brain interprets the signal. It then sends messages telling the body how to respond. Elephants receive information through hearing, and touch. Elephants use their trunks to make loud calls to signal the other elephants of danger in their environment. Usually, the older elephants will form a circle around the younger elephants to protect them. eir sense of sight, Se Elephants make low rumbling sounds to communicate with each other. Elephants feel the vibrations of the sound Feel on the ground with their feet. Humans cannot hear these sounds. Most elephants form family groups. The oldest elephant leads other elephants to find water. She uses the direction of her body to signal to other elephants which way they should go.
