3.  I can explain proximate and ultimate causes of behaviors featured in this chapter.  I can describe the following behaviors and explain the degrees of innate and/or learned behavior present in each:  Instinct  Fixed Action Patterns  Imprinting  Associative learning:  Classical conditioning  Operant conditioning  Problem solving  Social learning  I can explain how communication (especially among animals) can be through chemical and/or symbolic signals  Pheromones  Bee dance  I can explain the relationship between the following  Organism’s behavior and its genetics  Behavior and the environment  Behavior and fitness  Altruism and kin selection  I can design a lab that measures how an environmental condition affects the behavior of terrestrial isopods.

4.  Proximate causation  how does a behavior occur?  Ultimate causation  why has a behavior evolved?

6.  Innate  Fixed behaviors in a population  Born with – genetic?  Learned  Modifications of behavior based on experiences

7.  Instinct  Inherent behavior in response to stimuli  Ex: newly hatched turtles move toward water  Fixed action patterns  Sequence of unlearned acts directly linked to a simple stimulus  Ex: male stickleback fish attack anything with a red underbelly (perceived as a competing male)

8.  Imprinting  Phase sensitive learning in response to stimulus  Innate and learned  Ex: Greylag geese, costumes

9.  Associative learning  Ability to associate one environmental feature with another  Classical conditioning  Pairing of stimuli  One stimuli eventually creates response for the other  Ex: Pavlov’s dogs  Operant conditioning  Response reinforced or punished by a stimulus  Ex: Skinner’s rats

10.  Problem solving  The process of knowing by awareness, reasoning, recollection & judgment  Ex: primates learn how to use tools  Social learning  Learning through observation of others behavior  Ex: Prairie dog warning calls

14.  Genetics  Studies increasingly show a genetic component to many complex behaviors  Evolution  Environment  Environmental cues prompt behavioral responses  Ex: migration  Fitness  Those with behaviors best fit to their environment will be most successful and more likely to survive and reproduce than those that are less fit  …. Evolution!

15.  Altruism  Selfless behavior  Reduces individual’s fitness but increases fitness of others in the population  Ex: naked mole rat colonies  Kin selection  Natural selection favoring altruism by enhancing reproductive success of relatives
