Behavior - Answer Anything an organism does involving an action in
response to some stimulus
Ethology - Answer study of how organisms behave in their
environment
proximate causes of behavior - Answer immediate genetic,
physiological, neurological, and developmental mechanisms that
determine how an individual is behaving at a particular time
HOW behavior occurs
,INSTANT
PASS! 2026/2027
ultimate causes of behavior - Answer evolutionary/environmental
reasons for a behavior to occur
WHY behavior occurs
behavioral ecology - Answer study of behavioral interactions
between individuals within populations and communities
innate behavior - Answer an inherited behavior that does not
depend on the environment or experience
~FIXED
learned behavior - Answer Ability to learn is inherited, but the
behavior develops during the animal's lifetime
~VARIABLE AND FLEXIBLE
Innate behaviors examples - Answer Kinesis (movement), taxis
(direct movement towards or away from a stimulus), reflex, and fixed
action patterns
Learned behaviors examples - Answer Imprinting, habituation, and
associative learning (associate to a stimulus)

operant conditioning - Answer a type of learning in which behavior
is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by
a punisher
classical conditioning - Answer a type of learning in which one
learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events
Pheromones - Answer chemical signals that stimulate a response
from others
solitary - Answer being alone; lacking the company of others
~Benefits: not always detected by predators and limited intraspecific
competition
~Limitations: need to search for mates and can miss foraging
opportunities
Social - Answer Working with others
~Benefits: Cooperative defense and predator avoidance (reduce risk of
predation), reproductive benefits and efficient food detection
~Limitations: competition for resources with group members and
disease prevalence
