For example, a beetle species may have traits for two different body colors. If one color helps the beetle protect itself from predators through camouflage, this trait becomes a beneficial trait. Beetles with this color are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on the beneficial color trait to their offspring. As a result, a majority of the beetle population in a particular region will have this beneficial body color. This adaptation enables the beetle to survive in its habitat. In this activity, you will write a short research paper comparing the adaptation of two organisms that live in different surroundings.

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.
