Q

Humans

A

K selected but apear exponential
We can change are environment so we cheat

The wider the base the faster at larger the growth

Column means no growth 
Narrower means decline

Q

Population dependent v independent factors

A

Does it have to do with size

Dependent : as density increases
Effect increases

Independiente: no correlation ie disasters

19
Q

Aposematic coloration

A

Want to be seen
Bright colors or patterns that warn of bad tastes or poisons

20
Q

Batesian mimicry

A

Harmless species that looks like the harmful species

21
Q

Mullirían

A

Many harmful organisms that mimic each other

22
Q

Niche

A

What it does
What it eats
What eats it
What chemicals and nutrients it provides

23
Q

Fundamental vs realized niche

A

Fundamental is what it can do if it has too (survival)

Realized what it does under normal circumstances (small circle)

24
Q

Foundational species

A

Creates habitat for other species to live that would not exists with out them (beavers)

25
Q

Keystone species

A

Species who’s pressence brings about and maintains a higher biodiversity

26
Q

Primary succession

A

No life left
Volcanic eruption
Gaicer retreat

27
Q

Secondary successor

A

Still some life left
Fire floods
Pioneer species lay the ground work for more species to come in the future

28
Q

Drivers of behavior

A

Predation
Locating and get resources
Competion
Malentities
Locating a mate and f ing
Interpreting messages and cues

Responses may very throughout the life span

29
Q

Ultimate cause

A

The evolutionary cause
The pressure

30
Q

Proximate cause

A

The trigger or why they are doing it right now

31
Q

Innate behaviors

A

Inherited or genetic
No one had to teach them
Instinct

32
Q

Learned behaviors

A

Things that are learned over time

33
Q

Simple reflexes

A

Are inste behaviors
Where this an involuntary rapid response to a stimulus

34
Q

Fixed action pattern

A

Inate behavior
Has to go through complete course of action before it can stop
Like complex reflex

35
Q

Other innate behaviors

A

Migration
Foraging
Signal displays ( ie non verbal verbal or even chemical communication to help find a mate or a partner as well as too warn or distract)
Altruism ( sacrifice one self for the common good of the group)

36
Q

Habituations

A

Learned
When something learns to ignore a stimulus

37
Q

Imprinting

A

Learned behavior
Age specific and independent of species
Youth attach themselves to first large object they see

38
Q

Classical conditioning

A

Learned behavior
When an organism learns tow associate two separate stimuli

39
Q

Operant conditioning

A

Use positive or negative reinforcement to incourage or discourage a certain behavior

40
Q

Cognitive learning

A

Using your brain to learn
Watch and doing
Following instruction and listening and reading
