Chapter 51 Animal Behavior

You Must Know: How behaviors are the result of natural selection How innate and learned behaviors increase survival and reproductive fitness How organisms use communication to increase fitness The role of altruism and inclusive fitness in kin selection

Introduction Ethology: study of animal behavior Behavior: what an animal does and how it does it Both genetic & environmental factors Essential for survival and reproduction Subject to natural selection over time

Understanding behavior Proximate cause: “how” a behavior occurs or is modified Ultimate cause: “why” a behavior in context of natural selection A courting pair of East Asian red-crowned cranes.

BEHAVIOR: A male stickleback fish attacks other male sticklebacks that invade its nesting territory. PROXIMATE CAUSE: The red belly of the intruding male acts as a sign stimulus that releases aggression in a male stickleback. ULTIMATE CAUSE: By chasing away other male sticklebacks, a male decreases the chance that eggs laid in his nesting territory will be fertilized by another male.

Innate behaviors: developmentally fixed and are not learned Fixed action patterns (FAPs): sequence of unlearned acts that are unchangeable and usually carried to completion Triggered by sign stimulus Ensures that activities essential to survival are performed correctly without practice Eg. goose & egg

Sign stimuli in a classic fixed action pattern

Directed Movements Kinesis: simple change in activity or turning rate in response to a stimulus Taxis: automatic movement, oriented movement +/- from stimulus (eg. phototaxis, chemotaxis, geotaxis) Kinesis increases the chance that a sow bug will encounter and stay in a moist environment. Positive rheotaxis keeps trout facing into the current, the direction from which most food comes.

Migration Regular, long-distance change in location Environmental cues: sun, stars, earth’s magnetic field, landmarks

Circadian Rhythm: internal biological clock The circadian clock in the hamster brain signals a change in coat color according to season by releasing the hormone melatonin. The Suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) region is located in the hypothalamus of the brain. The SCN sends signals throughout the body in response to dark and light. Plants can have two internal clocks: one sensitive to light and the other sensitive to temperature More on Clock Genes: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/inheritance/clockgenes/

Courtship behavior of fruit flies Signal: stimulus that causes a change in behavior; basis of animal communication Pheromones – chemicals emitted by members of one species that affect other members of the species (eg. Queen bee, fruit fly, fish, termites, trees, humans) Visual signals – eg. Warning flash of white of a mockingbird's wing Tactile (touch) – eg. Male fruit fly taps female fly Auditory signals – screech of blue jay or song of warbler Courtship behavior of fruit flies

Honeybee dance language Used to inform other bees about distance and direction of travel to food sources

Learned behaviors: behaviors that are modified based on specific experiences

Types of Learning Habituation: loss of responsiveness to stimuli that convey little or no information Simple form of learning Imprinting: learning + innate components Limited to sensitive period in life, generally irreversible ie. Lorenz’ imprinting in greylag geese

BEHAVIOR: Young geese follow and imprint on their mother. PROXIMATE CAUSE: During an early, critical developmental stage, the young geese observe their mother moving away from them and calling. ULTIMATE CAUSE: On average, geese that follow and imprint on their mother receive more care and learn necessary skills, and thus have a greater chance of surviving than those that do not follow their mother.

Captive breeding programs for endangered species must provide proper imprinting models Pilot wearing crane suit acts as a surrogate parent to teach young whooping cranes a migration route

3. Spatial Learning Cognitive Map: internal representation of spatial relationship among objects in an animal’s surroundings Birds use spatial maps to relocate nut caches

Nest No nest Some organisms move in response to a recognized object or environmental cue, a landmark.

4. Associative Learning: ability to associate one stimulus with another (eg. monarchs = foul taste) A. Classical conditioning: arbitrary stimulus associated with particular outcome (eg. Pavlov’s dogs: salivate with ringing bell)

B. Operant conditioning: another type of associative learning Trial-and-error learning Associate its own behavior with reward or punishment

5. Cognition: process of knowing that involves awareness, reasoning, recollection, judgment Problem-solving behavior relies on cognition

6. Social learning: learning by observing others Vervet monkeys learning correct use of alarm calls.

Examples of learned animal behavior Nut-cracking crow (2:16) TED Talk: Amazing intelligence of crows (11:34) Chimpanzee problem solving (1:02) Chimpanzee problem solving by cooperation (2:14)

Foraging: food-obtaining behavior Recognize, search for, capturing, and consuming food Minimize costs / Maximize benefits

Energy costs and benefits in foraging behavior

Mating Behavior & Mate Choice Sexual selection: seeking and attracting mates, choosing and competing for mates Promiscuous Monogamous Polygamous (polygynous) Polyandry Partners Many One 1 M + many F 1F + many M Structure Showy Similar Showy male Showy female Care None Much Male = little Male = none

Sexual selection Ornaments correlate in general with health and vitality

Agonistic behavior: threats, rituals, and sometimes combat; settles disputes over resources (mates)

Behaviors can be directed by genes Certain behaviors in prairie voles are under relatively strong genetic control ADH (vasopressin) triggers pair-bond formation and aggression by male voles

Differences in oxytocin (a hormone) receptors in 2 species of voles Monogamous prairie voles vs. promiscuous montane voles High oxytocin levels in prairie voles Low oxytocin levels in montane voles

Altruistic social behavior Altruism = selfless behavior Reduce individual fitness but increase fitness of others in population i.e. bee societies; naked mole rats Inclusive fitness: total effect of producing own offspring (pass on genes) + helping close relatives Kin selection: type of natural selection; altruistic behavior enhances reproductive success of relatives

Review Question Natural selection favors behaviors that increase survival and reproductive behaviors. For each of the following types of behaviors, describe an example in nature, and justify how this behavior is adaptive. Innate behavior Learned behavior Cooperative behavior Chemical signals
