NickThe document discusses different types of defense mechanisms used by organisms, including active defense where organisms defend themselves through actions like attacking, and passive defense where organisms have protective structures already in their bodies. It provides examples of both generalist predators that eat many types of prey and specialist predators that focus on one type of prey. The document also describes evolutionary arms races where predators and prey continuously evolve and adapt to each other's defenses and offenses over time.

Genetic basis of behaviour
Animal behaviour is any activity performed by an animal in response to an internal or external stimuli or combination of both. Every behaviour of animal is more or less controlled by a genetical component. Some behaviours are controlled by a single or a few genes. Other behaviours are controlled by a set of genes through complex interplay.
Learned behavior in animals
Learned behavior in animals can occur through various forms of conditioning, as well as observation and reasoning. Animals are able to learn behaviors that help them adapt to their environments and ensure survival. Learning allows animals to be more flexible than if they relied solely on innate behaviors determined by their genetics. The types of learning include habituation, classical and operant conditioning, observation, food hoarding, imprinting, and insight learning. An animal can only learn behaviors that its physical form allows, as a dolphin cannot ride a bicycle due to its lack of legs and fingers.
BEHAVIOURAL PHYSIOLOGY (Animal Behaviour)
This document provides an overview of animal behaviour, including definitions, history, types of behaviours, and specific topics. It begins with definitions of animal behaviour and ethology. It then discusses the history of the field and pioneers. Behaviours are classified as innate or learned, and the various types of each are defined. Neural bases of learning and forms of behaviour are also summarized. Specific sections cover thermoregulation mechanisms, bioluminescence including types and functions, and conclusions with references.
Animal behavior/ orientation/taxes
this ppt slide consists of the definition of orientation, types of taxis. these slides help students to understand taxis' behavior in an easy way.
Fixed action pattern (fap)
Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) is a series or sequence of acts that occur behaviorally in animals. it is also known as instinctive behaviour as it is determined by gene of an organism and exhibited automatically without having any prior experience.
Imprinting
This document discusses different types of imprinting, including filial imprinting where young animals imprint on their parents, sexual imprinting where young imprint on characteristics of adults that influence mate choice, and reverse sexual imprinting known as the Westermarck effect where individuals living in close proximity early in life are desensitized to sexual attraction to one another to avoid inbreeding. It also discusses limbic imprinting where prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal experiences leave lifelong imprints on the limbic system of the brain that shape deep-seated beliefs and values. Examples are provided for each type of imprinting.
Ethology (2011)
Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior. It is a branch of biology that focuses on observational studies of animal behavior in natural contexts, in relation to their anatomy and physiology. Key founders included Lorenz, Frisch, and Tinbergen who studied innate behaviors like fixed action patterns and instinctual responses triggered by sign stimuli. They also studied learned behaviors and communication within and between animal species including bees' dances and wasps' ability to locate their nest based on visual cues. Ethology provided insights into aggression, imprinting, displacement activities and supernormal stimuli exploitation.
Animal behavior
Animal behavior types can be categorized into several types including learning, habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, trial and error learning, latent learning, insight, reasoning, and cognition. Learning is the modification of behavior based on experiences and can range from simple to complex. Habituation is the decrease in response to repeated stimuli over time. Imprinting occurs during a sensitive period where young animals learn recognition and attraction patterns. Classical conditioning pairs an innate response with a new stimulus. Trial and error and insight involve solving problems through testing or understanding relationships. Latent learning occurs without reinforcement. Animal cognition allows perception, processing, and use of information.

mimicry
different animals try to copy each other in order to avoid predation so here i have presented these copying tricks of several animals.
Animal behaviors
Animal behavior can be innate, social, or learned. Innate behaviors are instincts, like a kitten's instinct to chase moving objects. Social behaviors include aggression over resources, territoriality to protect resources for mating and raising young, and communication through sounds, smells, and visual displays. Learned behaviors develop through experience using processes like habituation, classical conditioning, and trial and error learning.
Primate Social Behavior
This document discusses primate social behavior and compares human behavior to that of other primates. It covers topics like why primates form social groups, different types of social structures, communication methods, dominance hierarchies, and behaviors like grooming, territoriality, and tool use. The document also compares the social behaviors of chimpanzees and bonobos, noting that chimpanzees exhibit warfare while bonobos are more peaceful and promote conflict resolution.
Lecture 4 hormones and behaviour
- Hormones secreted by endocrine glands and neurons affect behaviour over minutes, days or months by influencing the nervous system, sensory perception, effector systems, and development.
- Hormones can have direct and indirect effects on behaviour depending on factors like genotype, season, experience, and ecology.
- Biological rhythms that regulate behaviours are controlled by neural and hormonal mechanisms and allow for immediate and long-term patterns aligned with environmental cycles.
Mimicry
The document discusses Müllerian mimicry between the yellow jacket wasp and honeybee. Müllerian mimicry occurs when two or more poisonous species resemble each other to deter common predators. Both the wasp and honeybee have black and yellow stripes and sting as a defense, so have evolved to resemble each other. This protects both species by confusing predators, who learn to avoid their common warning signals. The document outlines key differences between the wasp and honeybee such as taxonomy, physical features, habitat and aggression levels, but also how their resemblance benefits both as a shared defense against predators through Müllerian mimicry.
Proximate vs ultimate causes of animal behavior
Two broad categories of behaviors are Proximate and Ultimate behaviour. The presentation gives a brief introduction on Proximate and Ultimate causes of behaviour
Animal Behaviour.pptx
The document discusses different types of animal behavior, including innate behavior and learned behavior. Innate behaviors are things an animal is born knowing how to do, and include irritability, tropisms, kinesis, taxes, reflexes, instincts, and motivation. Learned behaviors are things an animal learns during its lifetime through experiences, such as habituation, imprinting, conditioned reflexes, trial and error learning, latent learning, insight, and reasoning. The document provides examples and definitions of each of these different types of behaviors.

Orthogenesis, Allometry & Adaptive Radiations
Orthogenesis is the theory that organisms evolve in a definite direction due to some internal mechanism, rejecting natural selection. Allometry describes the relationship between an organism's size and its body parts, such as brain size increasing with body size. Adaptive radiations occur when environmental changes open new niches, causing rapid speciation and phenotypic adaptation in a relatively short time, as seen with Hawaiian honeycreepers adapting to different island environments.

Adaptive radiation in mammals
Adaptive radiation describes when an ancestral species evolves into multiple new species that occupy different ecological niches. On islands like Madagascar and the Galapagos, isolated populations of mammals evolved in unique ways to adapt to the available resources. Over time on these islands, a single ancestral species gave rise through natural selection to many new species with diverse traits suited to their environments.
Kinds of Animal Behavior.pdf
This document discusses animal behavior and the factors that influence it. It defines animal behavior and outlines three main categories: instinctive behaviors, learned behaviors, and complex behaviors.

An introduction to ethology
Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior under natural conditions. It examines behaviors like why black-headed gulls remove empty egg shells after hatching, which may help reduce predation of the eggs. Ethologists, or animal behavior scientists, study behaviors including communication not involving movement, such as vocalizations and odor release.
Ap chap 51 animal behavior
Animal behavior can be studied in terms of evolution, neurology, and ecology. Behavior is defined as actions performed by muscles or glands under control of the nervous system in response to stimuli. The scientific study of behavior is called ethology. Both proximate and ultimate causes influence behavior. Proximate causes are immediate environmental stimuli and mechanisms, while ultimate causes relate to survival and reproduction benefits. Many animals breed in spring/summer due to warmer temperatures and abundant food providing higher chances of offspring viability.
Social organization & Social behavior in animals
Social organization in animals depends on factors like group size, age, sex, habitat, and food availability. Animals live in social groups for benefits like improved predator detection, increased chance of prey capture, and easier mate finding. Key aspects of social groups include communication methods, division of labor, and permanent membership among related females. Group living provides advantages for survival and reproduction.
Animal behaviour
Behavior is everything an organism does in response to stimuli from both the external environment and internal bodily states. It includes innate behaviors that are genetically determined and critical for survival, such as feeding, grooming, and reproduction, as well as learned behaviors influenced by environmental factors. The scientific study of animal behavior is called ethology and focuses on understanding behavior in natural habitats and social contexts.

1 Q.How do animals in the forest live?
The animals use the tall trees and understory for shelter, hiding places from their predators, and a source of food. Because there are so many animals competing for food, many animals have adapted by learning to eat a particular food eaten by no other animal.
2 Q.Why do animals depend on forests?
Forest is an important part of the environment because it acts like lungs of the earth as it helps in the purification atmosphere and water. It also provides shelter and food to the living organisms like animals, plants, and microbes.
3 Q.What do the wild animals eat?
Some eat green plans and plant products and are called herbivores like cow and deer. Some feed on flesh of other animals and are called carnivores. Like lion. Some animals eat both plants and animals and are called omnivores, like humans, rat

adaptation - characteristics of life. types of adaptation
This document discusses various adaptations that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environments. It begins by defining adaptations as inherited characteristics that aid survival and reproduction as environments change. Both structural and behavioral adaptations are covered. Structural adaptations include camouflage, mimicry, and body structures. Behavioral adaptations include migration, hibernation, living in groups, and tool use. Plants also have adaptations, such as seeds, thorns, leaves to capture sunlight, and tropisms like gravitropism and phototropism that guide plant growth. Adaptations increase an organism's chances to survive long enough to reproduce and pass on its genes.
Animal and Plant Adaptations
This document discusses various adaptations that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environments. It defines adaptations as inherited characteristics that increase an organism's chances of surviving long enough to reproduce. Adaptations can be structural, like camouflage colors, or behavioral, such as migration. Structural adaptations include physical traits like stripes that help with camouflage or mimicry. Behavioral adaptations are instincts and learned behaviors, including hibernation, living in groups, and migration. Plants also have adaptations, such as thorns for protection, seeds for dispersal, and tropisms or dormancy to respond to environmental stimuli. Adaptations increase organisms' fitness and chances of surviving and passing on their genes.
Animal protection (adapations teach)
This document discusses how wild animals protect themselves from threats in their environment. It begins by outlining the main threats wild animals face, including predators, competition from other animals, and harsh weather. It then explores some of the key ways animals protect themselves, such as camouflage, body structures like horns and claws that can be used in fights, hard shells and scales, and body coverings with sharp quills or frightening appearances that deter predators. Examples are provided of different animals that use camouflage, shells, scales and other physical attributes or behaviors to avoid being eaten by predators and survive in their habitats.
Animal Adaptations
The document discusses animal adaptations and provides examples. It explains that adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that help animals survive in their habitat, such as a bird's beak shape or an animal's fur color. Physical adaptations develop over generations, not in a single lifetime. Examples of animal adaptations include teeth shapes relating to diet and leg or foot structures relating to locomotion. Defense adaptations like camouflage, bright colors, quills or horns are also discussed. Specific animal adaptations for lions, giraffes, and zebras are then outlined.

It provides specific examples of lion, giraffe, and zebra adaptations and how they relate to survival.
Animal Behavior
The behaviors of eating, sleeping and crying in animals are innate behaviors that are genetically programmed and not learned. An example of an innate behavior is a fixed action pattern exhibited by parent gulls, which will regurgitate food for their chicks in the same sequence in response to chick tapping, even if the stimulus is removed. Learned behaviors develop through experience and include habituation where an animal stops responding to a stimulus after repeated exposure, as well as conditioning where an association is formed between a stimulus and response through reinforcement.

The document discusses theories of evolution including punctuated equilibrium developed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge. Gould was a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist who died in 2002 at age 61. Eldredge worked at the American Museum of Natural History and collaborated with Gould on punctuated equilibrium, which proposes that evolutionary change occurs in short bursts according to fossil evidence. Other theories discussed include phyletic gradualism, the slow steady divergence of species, and cladogenesis, the splitting of a species into different breeds. Key terms defined are species, stasis, isolation, and breed.
Mimicry and camouflage
The document discusses mimicry and camouflage as survival techniques used by animals. Mimicry involves an animal taking on the appearance of another species, such as mimicking a poisonous species to avoid predation. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings to hide from predators or prey. Different animals use camouflage in various ways, such as changing color or having color patterns that provide camouflage. Both mimicry and camouflage work well because they allow animals to avoid detection from others in their environment.

The document discusses mimicry and camouflage as survival techniques used by animals. Mimicry involves an animal taking on the appearance of another species, such as mimicking a poisonous species to avoid predation. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings to hide from predators or prey. Some animals can change their coloration to match different environments using specialized skin cells. Both mimicry and camouflage work well because they allow animals to avoid detection from others in their ecosystem.
Mimicry and Camouflage
Animals use mimicry and camouflage for survival and protection. Mimicry involves resembling another species to avoid predators or capture prey. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings and hide from predators and prey by matching colors and textures. Both mimicry and camouflage work well because animals learn to avoid or are hesitant to attack dangerous looking species, and camouflage makes animals nearly invisible to others.
Sexual Selection
Sexual selection occurs through male competition and female choice. It leads to the evolution of extreme traits in males that give them an advantage in attracting mates but may reduce survival. Sexual dimorphism arises when males and females of a species differ in traits, often with males developing more ornamented characteristics. Runaway selection can cause traits to evolve that do not improve quality but instead fulfill female preferences, like long bright tails in some species. Sexual selection drives evolution and speciation.
Charles darwin & Natural Selection
Charles Darwin developed the theory of natural selection after making observations on his voyage on the Beagle and gathering evidence that species adapt to their environments over generations. Through natural selection, individuals with traits better suited to the environment are more likely to survive and pass on those traits, causing populations to evolve over time. Darwin's observations of related but different species on the Galapagos Islands provided evidence that all life shares a common ancestor that diverges through this process of descent with modification.
Types of selection
There are three main types of natural selection: stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection. Stabilizing selection favors average traits so that medium-sized or medium-weight individuals are most likely to survive. Directional selection favors individuals with one extreme trait, like long-necked giraffes or large horses. Disruptive selection favors individuals with opposite extreme traits, so average or intermediate individuals die out while the extremes survive, like with camouflaged light or dark rabbits.
