1. Wednesday 2/1/17 Agenda: Adaptation Notes
HW: Missing Work / Corrections
Warm-up: What do you think the terms “warm-blooded” and “cold-blooded” mean. In what type of climate do most “cold-blooded” animals live.

2. Animal Adaptations

3. Animal Adaptations
An adaptation is a trait that enables an organism to survive and reproduce in their environment.
Adaptations do not develop during an animal's lifetime, but over many generations.

4. Animal Adaptations These adaptations may be physical Or behavioral
(The shape of the mouth, the body color and shape, the type of fur, the shape of the nose or ears),
Or behavioral
(ways of reacting to the environment)

5. Animal Adaptations
Animals depend on their physical and behavioral traits to help them obtain food, keep safe, build homes, and attract mates.

10. Adaptations for Predators

11. Adaptations for Movement

12. Adaptations for Avoidance

14. Surviving in Different Environments
Organisms have adapted over time to survive in all the climates of the world.
These adaptations have allowed them to live in the most extreme of conditions

15. Tundra Survival

16. Hydrothermal Vents -Temp = 648oF

17. Adaptation and Environmental Change
If an organism’s environment changes, its inherited traits determine if it will be able to survive.
The broader an animals food web, the more likely it will survive if one food source disappears.

18. Change to the Environment
The giant panda’s diet is almost all bamboo plants
Because its food web is so narrow deforestation, has greatly reduced their population

19. Crocodiles on the other hand will eat just about anything, and have survived for over 2 million years

20. Reproductive Adaptations
Some organisms have adapted over time to help ensure their reproductive success
Some adaptations help attract mates
Some help keep offspring alive

21. Ways to Attract a Mate
Male peacocks have brightly colored plumage (feathers) to attract mates

22. Different Ways to Raise the Young
Some species care for their young until they can care for themselves, helping to ensure survival of the species

25. Different Ways to Raise the Young
Other species have large numbers of offspring at one time, hoping a few will survive

26. Other Interesting Adaptations

27. Fact is Stranger Than Fiction

28. Animal Behavior – An Important Adaptation
Most animal behaviors are characteristics that help an animal survive or reproduce.
Their behaviors are triggered by both internal and external stimuli.

29. Competition and Aggression
Competition occurs for resources and mates.
Aggression between members of the same species rarely results in death.

30. Establishing a Territory
A territory allows the animals to hunt without competition and to safely raise their young

31. Living in Groups
Living in a group helps animals survive by protecting one another, and working together to find food.

32. Animal Societies
A group of animals of the same species that work together for the good of the whole
Animals’ social behavior is instinctive and each animal is preprogrammed to perform a specific function.

34. Behavior Cycles Some animal behaviors occur in a regular pattern
Circadian rhythms are a daily cycle
Hibernation is a seasonal cycle

35. What to do in the winter in Maine.

36. The State of Maine 's Dept
The State of Maine 's Dept. of Wildlife administers  health treatment to adult and baby bears in hibernation (dental check-ups, etc).?  
Wait 'till you see these photos, documenting the work they did to do a health check on a mother bear while watching over her cubs while the mother was having dental treatment..
 The sleepy heads were then replaced in the den by the  rangers. 

61. Now back to work.

62. Migration Periodic journey from one place to another and then back
Usually occurs to an area that provides food or a good location to reproduce
Animals use smell, sight, taste, and some use a magnetic sense to determine where to go

63. Migration Bird migration is common.
The longest known migration of a bird is that of the Arctic Tern, which migrates from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back each year.
Flyways are routes that certain bird species take to migrate.

65. Migration
Whales and other animals, such as, butterflies, salmon, and eels are also known to migrate.

66. Caribou Migration

67. Caribou Migration

68. Salmon Migration

69. Salmon Migration

70. Monarch Butterfly Migration

71. The Tiger Swallow A Look Alike Adaptation for Protection

73. Another look alike Adaptation

74. The way an animal acts is either Instinctive Or Learned
Animal Behaviors
The way an animal acts is either
Instinctive Or
Learned

75. Instinctive Behavior
Instinctive behavior is inborn, you do not have to learn it.
Like all behaviors, it is a response to a stimulus

76. Learning Learning is the process that leads to changes in behavior
Animals learn in three different ways

77. 1. Conditioning
Learning to connect some kind of stimulus with a good or bad event

78. 2. Insight Learning
Solving a problem or learning something new, by applying what you already know, without a period of trial and error
An Ahhhhaa moment

79. 3. Trial and Error
Occurs when an animal, through repeated practice, learns to perform a behavior more and more skillfully.

80. Inter-species Behaviors - - Symbiotic Relationships - -
Interactions among organisms of different species
Classified based on whether they help or hurt one or both of the species involved

81. Commensalisms
Relationship between two species that helps one, and does not affect the other
Cattle egrets follow cattle to feed on the insects stirred up by the grazing.

82. Mutualism A relationship between two species where both benefit
lichen is a fungus and an algae growing together. The fungus gets food from the algae and the algae gets a place to live.
Pollinating plants and the organisms that pollinate them.

83. Mutualism

84. Parasitism
When a smaller organism feeds on a larger, weakening or killing it
This is a relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
Mosquito or tick feeding off another organism
Mistletoe feeds off host plant.
