Answer 1

Ethology

Question 2

is the immediate cause of a behavior

Answer 2

proximate causation

Question 3

evolutionary reasons for the said behavior

Answer 3

ultimate causation

Question 4

this behavior have been favored by natural selection over time

Answer 4

Adaptive behavior

Question 5

is a process by which individuals with traits increases their survival & reproduction, are more likely to pass on those traits to their offspring

Answer 5

Natural selection

Question 6

what are the Animal Behavior that Influence Animal populations

Answer 6

1. Population Growth & Regulations
2. Population Distribution & Range
3. Population stability & Resilience
4. Population Dynamic & Interaction

Question 7

Under Population Growth & Regulation what are the 3 certain behaviors that influences this.

Answer 7

1. survival behaviors
2. reproductive behaviors
3. social cooperation

Question 8

Under Population Distribution & Range what are the 2 behaviors that influence this.

Answer 8

1. Migration
2. Territoriality

Question 9

What are the 2 behaviors that influence Population Stability & Resilience

Answer 9

1. Adaptive behaviors
2. Social behaviors

Question 10

What are the 4 behaviors that influence the Population Dynamic & Interaction

Answer 10

1. Predator-prey interactions
2. Competition
3. Conservation
4. Non-adaptive behaviors

Question 11

this behavior increase an individuals chances of survival, predator avoidance & efficient foraging that directly contribute to population growth

Answer 11

Survival Behavior

Question 12

this behavior enhances reproduction success, such as courtship displays, parental care & territoriality, it also play a crucial role in population growh

Answer 12

Reproductive behavior

Question 13

cooperation behaviors like group hunting, share childcare & collective defense can increase survival rates & reproductive success

Answer 13

Social cooperaton

Question 14

this patterns drivens by seasonal changes in food availability or breeding conditions. This can lead to seasonal fluctuations in population densities in specific regions

Answer 14

Migration or Migration patterns

Question 15

this can influence the spatial distribution of individuals with a population, creating distinct territories & influencing the overall population

Answer 15

Territoriality

Question 17

this can regulate prey populations & impact the distribution & abundance of predators

Answer 17

Predator-prey interactions

Question 19

this helps maintain healthy & resilient populations

Answer 19

Conservation

Question 20

this are the behaviors that do ot increase an animal chnaces of survival or reproductive success

Answer 20

Non-adaptive behaviors

Question 21

what are the example of non-adaptive behaviors

Answer 21

1. Misdirected behavior
2. Behaviors that results from environmental changes
3. Behaviors that influence by stress or disease

Question 22

this behaviors make animals become maladaptive in a human modified environment

Answer 22

Misdirected behavior

Question 23

this can lead to overgrazing competition with native species & disrupt ecological balance

Answer 23

invasive species

Question 24

this alters habitats, some animals may exhibit behaviors that are no longer optimal for new conditions

Answer 24

climate changes

Question 25

due to stress or disease this disrupt social structures & reduces survival rates

Answer 25

Increased aggression

Question 26

due to stress or disease it can increase mortality rates among offspring

Answer 26

Reduced parental care

Question 27

this can lead animals being out of sync with seasonal changes in food availabilty or breeding conditions

Answer 27

disrupted migrations patterns

Question 28

The principles of animal behavior, also known as ethology, are the scientific study of animal behavior. It explores how animals interact with their environment, each other, and themselves.

Answer 28

ethology

Question 29

key principles of animal behavior

Answer 29

1. Proximate & Ultimate 2. Natural Selection & Behavior 3. Learning 4. communication 5. Social behavior 6. Motivation & Emotion

Question 30

Animals are motivated by internal drives, such as hunger, thirst, and the need for shelter. They also experience emotions, such as fear, anger, and joy.

Answer 30

Motivation & Emotion

Question 31

Many animals live in social groups, which can offer benefits such as protection from predators and increased access to resources. ## Footnote includes cooperation, competition, and dominance hierarchies.

Answer 31

Social Behavior:

Question 32

Animals communicate with each other in various ways, including visual signals, sounds, scents, and touch ## Footnote plays a crucial role in finding food, mates, and avoiding predators.

Answer 32

communication

Question 33

Many animals can learn and modify their behavior based on experience.. ## Footnote allows them to adapt to changing environments and avoid dangerous situations

Answer 33

Learning & Behavior
