PRIMATE BEHAVIOR Ethology = “...biology is its mother, whereas for a father, a very plain zoologist, Charles Darwin” Lorenz

Behavior is…. “The study of behavior encompasses all the movements and sensations by which animals mediate their relationship with the external world- physical, biological, and social”. Alexander “Actions carried out by an individual subject” Patterson

Questions to be asked…. What? When? How? Why? Where? Describe dominance Feeding? Travel? Aggressive? Leadership? Displacement? Benefits received? What season or housing situation?

Tinbergen’s four areas of inquiry Causation Development Function Evolution How does it work? How did it develop? (learned) Why do it? What is for? How did it evolve?

How do we do it?

Things to think about... Field versus captive Species Anthropomorphism

Research

Captive work

Anthropomorphism

What is the process (list…) Ask a question Preliminary data Form Hypothesis and predictions Decide what to measure Choose methods to help you measure Collect Analyze and interpret

You’ll be doing research in no time….
