Goal # 4

1. Three types of Animal Behavior include:

 Innate Behavior
 Learned Behavior
 Social Behavior
2. Innate Behavior involves
 Taxis – animal moves toward or away from stimulus
 Instinct – behavior an animal is born with
 Migration –

 2 factors of migration include: food and temperature

 Estivation – dormancy of periods during extreme heat or drought
 Hibernation – dormant ( sleep like state) in winter.
3. Learned Behavior involves:
 Habituation – an animal becomes accustomed to a stimulus through prolonged and regular exposure.
 3 factors of Imprinting:
a. Learning based on early experience
b. Once occurred, cannot be changed
c. Keeps young animals close to mother who protects and feeds them.
 Classical Conditioning – teaching a response to a new stimulus
 Trial and Error – learning though positive and negative reinforcement
4. Social Behavior involves:
 Pheromones Purpose: _________________________________________________________
 Courtship dances Purpose: _________________________________________________________
 Social behavior – Conserves resources and Protects organisms from getting hurt by fighting
Goal 5 - Ecology

5. Symbiosis – relationship between two organisms

6. Mutualism – Both organisms benefit Examples: E.Coli in intestines
7. Commensalism – one organism benefits, other is unaffected Examples: Barnacles on a whale.
8. Parasitism – one organism is harmed and other benefits. Examples: Tapeworm
9. Field Ecology Techniques include: fencing to exclude rabbits to measure seedling recruitment after fire, diver using a quadrant
to measure organisms on sea floor
10. Biotic Factors – living or once living components of an ecosystem
11. Abiotic factors - Nonliving things which influence an ecosystem(water, rocks, soil, sunlight, air, salt, wind)
12. Carrying Capacity - The number of organisms an ecosystem can support in a healthy manner.
13. Limiting factor – something in the environment that limits the growth of an organism
14. The Limiting factor influences carrying capacity and population.
15. Food Chains are: linear representation of the flow of energy through an ecosystem
16. Food Webs are: many food chains interconnected. Each organism has a trophic level.
 Examples of food webs include _____________________, _____________________, and _____________________.
17. Energy Pyramid is: geometric representation of a food pyramid

 Pyramid of Energy 10% Rule: only 10 % of the energy from one trophic level moves up to the next trophic level.
 Where does the energy go? Heat, activity, energy still in urine and feces
