Monday, October 8th

BR: During this coming week, what are the 5 ‘activities’ that will consume most of your time?

1) Animal Behavior notes

2) HW: none

Tuesday, October 9th

BR: What are the 3 main criteria for FAPs?

1) Ethogram2) Animal Behavior notes

HW: know what BMs you have to make up4th period meet in patio, Ashland side

Monday, October 15th BR: In birds, why is the female attracted to the

more colorful male, or the male with the longest tail?? – what does it show her?

1) Mold lab2) Notes

HW: write out the procedure for the mold lab

Have out your mold pre-lab

Expectations• Be on time• Have your homework completed & accessible• Behave appropriately for the activity• Use appropriate language at all times• Do not leave your seat without permission• Do not tap on the animal tanks• Do not pick up an animal without permission• Do not write on school/teacher property• Do not damage school/teacher property• Do not throw things in the classroom

Mold lab - instructions

Each team of 2-3 students will obtain 2 pieces of bread, 2 zip lock sandwich bags, 2 paper plates, & scissors. Label the bottom of each plate with your initials & class period. Trim the plates so that each will fit snuggly into a bag. Wipe 1 piece of bread on a surface in this room or (with permission) close by. –sorry, you may have to change your hypothesis. Place each piece of bread onto a plate, spray them with water so that they are damp but not soggy, they should be equally damp. Place each bread with plate into a bag and seal it.

Animal Behavior

An animal’s behavior is the sum of its responses to external & internal stimuli

Understanding animal behavior requires answering 4 questions1. What stimuli elicits the behavior, what

physiological mechanisms control the response

2. How does an animal’s experience mediate the response

3. How does the behavior aid survival & reproduction

4. What is the behavior’s evolutionary history

Animal BehaviorBehavior is broken down into 2 main categories:I. Innate behavior II. Learned behavior

Animal BehaviorI. Innate behavior is behavior

that is developmentally fixed.

II. Learned behavior is the modification of behavior based on past experiences.

Friday, October 11th

CHECK YOUR MOLD!!BR: innate or learned?Walking? A baby nursing? A rat licking her

baby? Religious beliefs?physical attraction?

Adventurer’s Club trip this Sunday!!1) √ WS2) Notes

Hw: Monarch quiz on Wednesday

I. a.1.2.3.4. includes:

• •

I. Innate Behavior a. Fixed Action Patterns (FAP) - A series of unlearnedbehaviors that run in sequence

FAP1. Some of the simplest behaviors2. Necessary for survival3. ‘hardwired’ 4. frequently cannot be stopped

once started5. include:

Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) behaviors include:

Reproductive behavior – Darwin Beetles

Feeding behavior – gull chicks

Offspring care - egg rolling

Predator avoidance – dropping moth

Predator avoidance – jumping turtle

Wednesday, October 16th

CHECK YOUR MOLD!!landscape designBR: without looking at your notes – Name 3 types of FAP1) Notes

HW: Mold I revisions due FridayMold II due Tuesday

Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) behaviors include:• Reproductive behavior

– Dances, displays– Aggression

• Offspring care – Egg rolling

• Feeding behaviors– Seagull chicks pecking on mom ‘red spot’

• Predator avoidance– Moths ‘drop’ when they ‘hear’ ultrasound wavelengths– Jumping turtle

Animal BehaviorI. Innate behavior is behavior

that is developmentally fixed. Ex – fixed action pattern

II. Learned behavior is the modification of behavior based on past experiences

Examples of learned behavior

Examples of learned behavior

a. Habituation –

Examples of learned behavior

a. Habituation – the loss of responsiveness to a stimuli. Ex: the ‘cry wolf’ effect

Examples of learned behavior

a. Habituationb. Imprintingc. Associative learning

1. Classical conditioning2. Operant conditioning

d. Cognition

Examples of learned behavior

b. Imprinting – this includes both innate & learned behavior

Examples of learned behavior

a. Habituation b. Imprintingc. Associative learning

1. Classical conditioning2. Operant conditioning

d. Cognition

c. Associative learning – the ability to associate one environmental factor (color) with another (taste)

Examples of learned behavior

a. Habituation b. Imprintingc. Associative learning

1. Classical conditioning2. Operant conditioning

d. Cognition

1. Classical conditioning – a random stimuli becomes associated with a particular outcome

Examples of learned behavior

a) Habituation b) Imprintingc) Associative learning

1. Classical conditioning2. Operant conditioning

d) Cognition

2. Operant conditioning –trial & error learning

a. Kinesis - A change in activity in response to a stimulus

b. Taxis – movement toward (positive taxis) or away from (negative taxis) a stimuli
