Summary Introduction
To review:
One benefit and one cost of using sound for communication underwater by the whales.
Introduction:
Whales are known to communicate with each other using sound underwater. They also detect their enemy, food (small fishes), and obstacles using these sound waves. This mode of communication benefits them and the same time is harmful as well.

A 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…
Behavioral adaptations involve adaptations of a single organism.

- There are three chief ideas of the handicap principle: 1) Animals communicate with éach other throughn sigi must be honest, and 3) honest signals are expensive. Stotting behavior (up and down jumps gazelles exhibit when they spot a predator before the gazelle runs away) often results in the predator leaving before it attacks, presumably because the predator knows it won't easily catch that gazelle. This clearly is an example of the handicap principle based on the three ideas.

- All animals do not perceive their environment in the same way. List some examples.arrow_forwardA researcher designed a study to test whether exposure to conflict influences infants’ ability to discriminate emotional expressions. They randomly assigned 30 7-month-old infants to witness an argument between two puppets and 30 additional 7-month-olds to witness the same puppets playing a game. They then used a preferential looking paradigm to test whether infants could discriminate between fearful and angry faces. They found that infants who had witnessed the argument spent more time looking at angry compared to fearful faces. Infants who witnessed play looked at both faces for the same amount of time. This research design is ____________. The experimenters _________ infer that exposure to conflict influenced emotion discrimination. Select one: a. Correlational; can b. Correlational; cannot c.
