Chapter 26, Problem 4FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There is a scarcity of mates, space, and food relative to reproductive potential. This scarcity leads to competition among the members of same species. This competition is for the survival and reproduction of the members and there are various types of competitive interaction between members of species.

All of the following are factors that influence primate behavior patterns, EXCEPT?
Group of answer choices
A: human activities
B: distribution of and types of predators.
C: relationships with other non-predators in the region.
D: a rhinarium
E: diet and distribution of food resources.
Defense of an area where important resources for survival are located is termed
appeasement.
kinesis.
passive behavior.
aggression behavior
territorial behavior.
Choose the true statement about innate behaviors from the list:
Innate behaviors tend to vary considerably among members of a population.
Innate behaviors occur in invertebrates and some vertebrates but not in mammals.
Innate behaviors are expressed in most individuals in a population across a wide range of environmental conditions.
Genes have very little influence on the expression of innate behaviors.
Innate behaviors are limited to invertebrate animals.
In different species, there are sometimes very sensitive periods in their lives when a particular behavior or skill needs to be learned. This is called
classical conditioning.
altruism.
fixed action behavior.…

- Female parasitoid wasps search for insect hosts in which to lay eggs, and they can often discriminate among individual hosts that are more or less suitable for their offspring. Behavioral ecologists have asked whether or not the wasps’ willingness to lay eggs in less suitable hosts varies with the female’s age. On the basis of life history theory, what pattern of change would you predict? Does life history theory make any other predictions about animal behavior?arrow_forwarddominance hierarchy territorial behavior courtship ritual altruism agonistic behavior Example Groups of male peacocks display their tail feathers to females. Male moose lower their heads, lock horns, and push against each other. One female in a wolf pack does not allow other females to mate. A male loon and a female loon together perform a series of FAPS. A male fox sparrow sings loudly from a series of perches. A worker bee loses its life defending the hive. A male dog urinates on every tree and fire hydrant it encounters during a walk. A Belding's ground squirrel gives an alarm call even though calling increases its own risk of being eaten. Several hens that are unfamiliar with each other fight over food.
