The territorial response in three-spined sticklebacks
(Gasterosteus aculeatus) is a fixed action pattern
that is triggered by a sign stimulus. What
environmental cue did Niko Tinbergen determine was
the sign stimulus for aggression in three-spined
sticklebacks?
a) The color red
b) A torpedo shape
c) The stickleback spines
d) A square shape
e) A swollen belly

A scientist observes that a male three-spined
stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) attacks other
male sticklebacks that enter its nesting territory. What
is the ultimate cause of this behavior?
a) He decreases the chance that
eggs laid in his territory will be
fertilized by another male.
b) To show his fitness to females
who are watching the contest
c) Sex drive
d) The observed red belly
e) The smell of a female in the
vicinity

do birds use to navigate during migration?
a) The sun’s position and
circadian rhythms
b) The Earth’s magnetic field
c)
Environmental cues and
landmarks
d) The position of the north
star

Which of the following statements about imprinting
is true?
a) It causes behaviors that last for only a short time (the
sensitive period).
b) It is a type of learning that does not involve innate
behavior.
c) It may be triggered by visual or chemical stimuli.
d) It occurs only in birds.
e) It happens to many adult animals, but not to their young.

The coyote (Canis latrans) pictured below
had a bad experience while trying to prey on
a porcupine. What type of behavior is likely to
ensue?

b) Classical conditioning
c) Innate
d) Associative learning
e) Cognition

Northwestern crows (Corvus caurinus) eat sea snails called
whelks. To access the soft parts, the crow flies up and drops the
whelks onto rocks. What determines how high the crow flies? The
higher the crow flies, the more likely the whelk shell will break
when it is dropped. Flying higher, however, means consuming
more energy. The orange bars represent the average number of
drops, while the green bars depict the total flight height. According
to the diagram, what is the optimal drop height?
a) 2 m
b) 3 m
c)
5m
d) 7 m
e) 15 m

Game theory is
a) where the fitness of a particular behavior is influenced by other
behavioral phenotypes in a population.
b) the total of all of the behavioral displays, both male and female, that are
related to courtship.
c) where an individual in a population changes a behavioral phenotype to
gain a competitive advantage.
d) the play behavior performed by juveniles that allows them to perfect
adult behaviors that are needed for survival, such as hunting and
courtship.
e) the evolutionary “game” that is played between predator and prey,
where the prey develops a behavior through natural selection that
enables it to be less vulnerable to predation, and the predator counters
with a new reciprocal predatory behavior.

It has been shown experimentally that when a
vassopressin receptor gene is transplanted from
male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), which
typically pair bond after mating, into meadow voles
(Microtus pennsylvanicus), which do not form lasting
relationships with mates, the result is
a) no change in the behavior.
b) disoriented behavior.
c) pair-bonding behavior.
d) homosexual behavior.
e) aggressive behavior.

Charles Henry found that green that lacewings that
appeared morphologically identical performed a song
specific for their species. To determine whether the song
was genetically determined, Henry crossed different
green lacewing species (Chrysoperla plorabunda and C.
johnsoni) and analyzed the songs produced by the hybrid
offspring. He discovered that
a)
hybrids sang a “nonsense song.”
b)
hybrids sang a song that had components of both parental
species.
c)
offspring sang the C. plorabunda song only.
d)
offspring sang the C. johnsoni song only.
e)
male hybrids sang a unique song to which female hybrids would
not respond.
