behave
What is Ethology
Continue
300
Some animals emit “these” chemical
substances in order to communicate,
regulates reproductive behavior or
trigger courtship behavior.
What are pheromones
Continue
400
This is the reason why male parental care is
more likely to evolve among species with
external fertilization
What is certainty of paternity is higher with
external fertilization
Continue
500
A type of associative behavior where an
animal learns to associate its own
behavior with a reward or punishment.
(aka Trial and Error learning)
What is operant conditioning
Continue
600
The reason why the “optimal foraging
theory” describes a deer spending more
time foraging in open areas than near
or in forests.
What is the deer views foraging as a
compromise between getting food and
getting eaten by its predators
(cost and Benefit analysis) Continue
700
This is the difference between
intersexual and intrasexual selection of
mates.
What is intersexual involves one sex
choosing mates on the basis of particular
characteristics, whereas intrasexual involves
competition among members of same sex.
Continue
