1. Animal Behavior

2. Adaptation Review
Adaptations are traits that increase an organism’s chance of survival in a particular environment.
Adaptations are inherited from parents.
Adaptations can be physical or behavioral.
Ex. Fur color, nocturnal vs. diurnal, hibernation (winter) and estivation(summer)
Ex. Flower color, thorns, catching flies

3. Learned Behaviors in Animals
Learned behavior has been changed by practice or experience.
Habituation-doing something so much you do not think about it anymore.
Conditioning-making a mental connection between a stimulus and a reward or punishment. Ex. Trial and Error (maze), Pavlov’s Dogs
Insight Learning/Reasoning

4. Animal Behaviors
Instinct behavior (innate) is behavior that the animal is born with.
Taxis-movement in relation to a stimulus that has a direction toward or away from the stimulus
Reflex-movement in relation to a stimulus.
Ex. Fight or Flight, reproduction, protection from predators, hibernating/estivating
What controls these behaviors?
DNA!!!

5. Imprinting
Imprinting is a type of behavior that is both learning and innate.
There is a limited phase in an animal’s development which is the only time when certain behaviors can be learned
Konrad Lorenz

6. Social Behaviors Courtship- Dances to attract mates
Territoriality-mark the area so others know it is your area
Hierarchy – social levels within a group
Communication- inform others of location of food or danger
Pheromones
Bee Dances

15. Behavior All animals function on circadian rhythms.
Rhythmic Behaviors-behaviors that occur in a cycle or pattern.
All animals function on circadian rhythms.
“biological clocks”
Include activities an animal would do in a 24 hour cycle. Ex. Sleep, Wake, Eat, Excretion, etc.
Annual Rhythms=occur over several seasons or a year.
Hibernation/estivation
Plant Biological rhythms-photoperiodism
