History of the Study of Animal Behavior Charles Darwin’s contribution classical ethology behaviorism & comparative psychology behavioral ecology
Classical Ethology Primarily European ‘Biological study of behavior’ Interested in the evolutionary basis of behavior, particularly differences in closely related species
Comparative Method (think: convergent & divergent evolution) Study animal in its natural environment 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology & Medicine o Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz, & Niko Tinbergen Classical Ethology

Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989) Responsible for much ethological theory Since natural selection can only act on heritable variation, logical to study inherited behavioral traits o Imprinting o Fixed Action Patterns
Filial Imprinting the process by which animals develop a social attachment to a particular object
Fixed action patterns: (similar to “Instincts”) 1. Performed ‘perfectly’ on 1 st try 2. Species-specific but occur species-wide 3. Highly stereotyped 4. Difficult to interrupt Egg-rolling in greylag geese

Fixed action patterns: (similar to “Instincts”) Innate or learned? Learning : the modification of behavior as a result of experience
Niko Tinbergen (1907-1988) Pioneer field naturalist First to conduct systematic experiments in animal’s natural habitat
• Contributions o Grounded in evolutionary theory o Studied a diversity of animals & behaviors • Weaknesses o Overlooked much behavioral plasticity due to excessive focus on ‘instincts’ Classical Ethology

Which of the following was not a contribution of Comparative Psychology and Behaviorism to the study of animal behavior? A. emphasis on the comparative method/approach when testing hypotheses for the evolution of behavior B. emphasis on objectivity in study of behavior C. emphasis on controlled, replicated laboratory experiments D. emphasis on ‘general laws of learning’ E. all of the above were contributions of Comparative Psychology & Behaviorism
History of the Study of Animal Behavior Charles Darwin’s contribution classical ethology behaviorism & comparative psychology behavioral ecology
Behavioral Ecology John Krebs Evolutionary basis of all behavior What is the fitness value of different behavioral strategies? o Cost / Benefit analyses o Common currency is reproductive success Natural selection is seen as an optimizing agent

Mechanism/Causation : neural, muscular, & endocrine explanations for behavior Why are prairie voles monogamous? • Male prairie (monogamous) voles have different V1aR genes from those of polygynous male voles. These differences lead to increased production of vasopressin receptor proteins in the brains of prairie voles. • When these receptors bind vasopressin (released into the bloodstream following copulation), male prairie voles experience positive feedback, encouraging them to remain in their mate’s company. Proximate causes i.e. immediate causes Don’t need to memorize these details!

Proximate causes i.e. immediate causes Development/Ontogeny : explanations of how genetic inheritance and experience influence behavioral development Why do white-crowned sparrows have regional dialects? Male white-crowned sparrows in Marin & Berkeley, CA sing different songs because they were exposed to different sounding male tutors when learning to sing.

Function/Adaptive Value : explanations of how the behavior increases survival and/or reproductive success Male prairie voles are monogamous because males who remain near females after mating (mate-guarding), have greater reproductive success than males that leave their mates to pursue mating with additional females.

i.e. historical causes Phylogeny/Evolution : evolutionary explanations • The ancestral mating system in voles is polygyny. Monogamy arose in some vole lineages (including prairie voles) due to the appearance of infanticidal males. Ultimate causes

H3: Inbreeding avoidance H3: Males disperse to avoid mating with closely-related females Prediction 1: If males disperse to avoid mating with kin, then there should be no (or very few) observations of matings between close relatives. Prediction 2: If males disperse to avoid mating with kin, then males with a lot of female kin nearby should disperse the farthest distances.
