Animal Behaviors
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Innate Behavior | they are behaviors that are inherited (instincts, chemotaxis, phototaxis, etc.) |
| Chemotaxis | animals avoid chemicals that might be dangerous |
| Phototaxis | animals avoid light so they can be hidden |
| Instincts | baby animals know where to suckle on their moms |
| Migration | animals move to and from places with food and water |
| Estivation | animals that live in climates that get too hot will burrow in the mud to avoid the heat (their metabolism slows so they can go without food) |
| Hibernation | is animals response to cold (their metabolism also slows so they can go without food) |
| Learned Behaviors | they are behaviors that are learned throughout life(habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, etc.) |
| Habituation | organism stops responding to repeated stimuli that does not harm or help them |
| Imprinting | learned behavior that occurs in a short but critical period of time (Ex. gosslings follow the first moving thing they see when they are born) |
| Classical Conditioning | stimulus association (Ex. Pavlov's dog salivated when the bell was rung ((because they associate the bell with food))) |
| Trial and Error | learned by being rewarded by the correct behavior |
| Social Behaviors | how animals communicate between themselves (communication, courtship dances, territorial defenses) |
| Communication | bees and ants use pheromones |
| Courtship Dances | are used to attract the best mates for reproduction |
| Territorial Defenses | organisms fight over food, space, or mates |
