1. Giving up density is a way to measure the conditions under which an animal is willing to experience risks in feeding. One way to approach an GUD experiment is to mix food in with inedible particles, then to measure what percent of the mix is food when an animal stops collecting or eating food. How could this method be used to study optimal foraging conditions?

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
