1. 9/8 Daily Catalyst Pg. 11 Behavior
1. Compare and contrast age diagrams A and B.
2. What can you infer about the countries that age diagrams A and B are representing?
3. Describe age diagrams A and B using the words life expectancy and mortality.

2. 9/8 Daily Catalyst Pg. 11 Behavior
1. Compare and contrast age diagrams A and B.
Diagram A has a higher percentage of their population under the age of 20. Diagram B has a higher middle aged population.
2. What can you infer about the countries that age diagrams A and B are representing?
Country A is developing. Healthcare access declines as one ages. Physical labor workers.
Country B is developed. Most likely has better access to education and healthcare
3. Describe age diagrams A and B using the words life expectancy and mortality.
Diagram A has increased elderly mortality versus diagram B which has a higher life expectancy.

6. 9/8 Objective
Environment, interacting with an animal’s genetic makeup, influence the development of behavior.

7.
Watch video on learned behaviors.

8. Why is studying animal behavior essential to the survival of humans?
Essential Question
Why is studying animal behavior essential to the survival of humans?

9. The modern scientific discipline of behavioral ecology
Extends observations of animal behavior by studying how such behavior is controlled and how it develops, evolves, and contributes to survival and reproductive success
Called Ethology
Ask why I have part of this statement bolded?
I have this statement bolded, because, ecology is all about life interacting with non-life, but at the end of the day, AP Biology cares if we can associate ecology with evolution and behavior ecology is a great tie to show us the connection between how organisms interact with the environment and how this interaction may be genetically linked and those genes that are able to be passed on are essential for survival which is natural selection.
Ethology is the study of animal behavior, especially in their natural environment.

10. What Is Behavior? Key Point #1: Define behavior
Is what an animal does and how it does it
Includes muscular and nonmuscular activity
Dorsal fin
Anal fin
Muscular is movement and nonmuscular is secreting chemicals, hormones, or changing colors (chemical or predation like camo for warning)

11. What is a probable cause for many animals reproducing in the spring?
Turn and Talk
What is a probable cause for many animals reproducing in the spring?
Longer day length, mates are closer (hibernation and return from migration), warmer temperatures, increased food supply, and better chance for offspring to survive which natural selection and passing the “good” survival traits.

12. Imprinting Kinesis Taxis Migration Communication
Behaviors to Know!
Imprinting
Kinesis
Taxis
Migration
Communication
Chemical Communication
Auditory

13. Imprinting Key Point #2:
Phase-sensitive learning period that is independent of consequences
Irreversible
Sensitive period: specific time to learn behavior
Example: Geese and Lorenz

14. Innate
Definition: Developmentally fixed behaviors
Example: instincts

15. Kinesis
Key Point #3:
Simple change in activity due to stimulus
Non-directional
THIS IS NOT TAXIS!
Example: Sow bugs like humidity! They simply just move and if they land in humidity, they stop moving.
Example: When you turn on the light, cockroaches will scatter to whatever direction!

16. Taxis
Key Point #4:
Autonomic movement to or away from stimulus
Directional
THIS IS NOT KINESIS!
Example: Trout purposely move upstream to catch food.

17. Migration
Key Point #5:
Movement to new habitat
Genetically linked (like eye color)
Example: Black cap birds move to a certain new habitat at specific times of the year
Do all birds migrate?

18. Communication Eye Point #6:
Signal that causes a change in others behavior
Examples: visual, auditory, chemical, tactile, electrical signals

19. Chemical Communication
Key Point #7:
Due to genetics
Pheromones
Example: Bees reproducing with certain bees and not others
Example: Fish secrete chemicals when injured to warn others

20. Auditory Communication
Key Point #8:
Genetics even if isolated!
Example: bird song of reproduction

21. Nature vs. Nurture Vs.? NOPE!
All may have the same phenotype for behavior, but in different environments we act differently.
Example?

22. Explain the cartoon
As smart as think we are, other animals are just as smart. So the dog is conditioning Pavlov to write down information when the stimulus is dog drooling.
