What is behavior?• Response to an environmental
stimulus
• Response = a single, specific reaction to a stimulus
• Stimulus = any kind of signal that carries information and can be detected
• Individuals with behaviors that make them more successful at surviving & reproducing will produce more offspring

(Organisms respond to a stimulus due to interaction of sense organs, nervous
system, endocrine system, and muscles)

Innate behavior– Inherited, controlled by genes
• 1) Reflexes:– Short & quick, with no conscious
control– Serves a protective function
![Page 5: Chapter 34 Animal Behavior](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815a9c550346895dc8210a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• 2) Instinct:– Longer, complex pattern of behaviors (may
have several parts & take weeks to complete)

Learning
• Not controlled by genes, can be changed through practice or experience
• How might this be of survival value?
(This……not this!)

1) Habituation
• Learning to “ignore” a repetitive stimulus that neither harms nor rewards the organism
![Page 8: Chapter 34 Animal Behavior](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815a9c550346895dc8210a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2) Conditioning (associative)• A) operant (trial & error)
– Begins with a random behavior– “Skinner” boxes

• B) Classical (stimulus reward or punishment)
Pavlov’s dogs

4) Insight• An animal uses previous
experience to respond to a new situation– Chimps finding ways to use
tools to get the banana

Instinct & Learning Combined• Imprinting• An animal forms a social attachment (innate
drive) to another organism (not just Mom) soon after birth (learn from experience)
• Konrad Lorenz’ geese

5) Behavioral Cycles
• Many animals respond to periodic changes in the environment with daily or seasonal cycles of behavior
• A) Migration• B) Hibernation• C) Circadian rhythms –
daily patterns

6) Courtship
• Part of an overall reproductive strategy that helps many animals identify healthy mates

7) Social Behavior• A group of related animals of the same species
that interact closely and often cooperate with one another
• (Helping a relative survive increases the chances that the genes will be passed along)
![Page 16: Chapter 34 Animal Behavior](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815a9c550346895dc8210a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
8) Competition
• Some animals have behaviors that help prevent others from using limited resources
• A. Territoriality
• B. Aggression

5) Communication
(bee dance discovered by Carl von Frisch)

a) Chemical
• Pheromones– Hormones secreted by organisms that are
recognized by others of the species
![Page 19: Chapter 34 Animal Behavior](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815a9c550346895dc8210a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
b) Visual
• Using “displays” to communicate without language
• Baring teeth, etc.

c) Auditory
• Using sounds or songs to mark territory, etc.
• Whale’s song

d) Language
• Using symbols to represent ideas (primarily in animals with complex nervous systems, memory & insight)
