  1. Animal Behavior Objective 4.05: Analyze the broad patterns of animal behavior as adaptations to the environment.

  2. 3 Behavior Types • Innate • Learned • Social

  3. Innate • Instinctual or Inborn behavior • Successful on the first try but can get better with maturation. 1. Migration: Movement from a cold location to a warm location to increase your chances for finding food and surviving.

  4. Innate 2. Suckling: The drawing of milk into the mouth from the nipple of the mammary gland.

  5. Innate 3. Phototaxis: The movement toward or away from light. • Ex: Moths to light; Cockroaches away from light

  6. Learned • Acquired • Modified with experience • Habituation: Stop responding to irrelevant stimuli because no reward or punishment is received. • Ignoring a loud running refrigerator sound. • A bird not being scared by every overhead shadow.

  7. Learned 2. Trial & Error: Trying a variety of methods until the correct one is found.

  8. Learned 3. Classical Conditioning: When one stimulus causes and emotional response and one does not. When both stimuli are presented together, and association is made and the stimulus that did not cause an emotional response will then begin to.

  9. Learned • Imprinting: Mimicking the first thing seen after birth. • Duckling following their mama.

  10. Social • Communication 1. Territorial Defense: Animal protects its space and resources from other animals. • Siamese Fighting Fish: Males are very aggressive toward each other. They try to dominate and will fight until one wins.

  11. Social 2. Social Structure • Pheromones: Scents produced by animals that send a message. • Courtship Dances: Formalized flirtation between two sexes of a species.
