Behavior-100
QuestionAnswer
Behavior-200
A frog striking at a moving insect is an
example of what type of behavior?
Answer: FAP (Fixed action pattern)
QuestionAnswer
Behavior-300
Give an example of agonistic behavior.
• Answer: dogs baring their teeth, erecting
their tails and hair on back, looking
opponent in the eye, standing upright
QuestionAnswer
Behavior-400
The case of Fisher’s lovebirds, where the hybrids made nests with intermediate length strips and exhibited unsuccessful tucking behavior demonstrated what about behavior?
• Answer: There are both genetic and environmental aspects to behavior
QuestionAnswer
Behavior-500
What did each of the following experiments demonstrate?
Lorentz
Skinner
Pavlov
Answer: Lorentz: imprinting
Skinner: operant conditioning
Pavlov: classical conditioning
QuestionAnswer
Populations-100
What is a population?
• Answer:individuals of a single species
that simultaneously occupy the same
general area
QuestionAnswer
Populations-200
Give an example of organisms that would exhibit a Type I, Type II and Type III survivorship curve.
Answer:
Type I: elephants
Type II: Squirrels
Type III: Insects
QuestionAnswer
Populations-300
Describe the difference between r-selected and K-selected species.
Answer:
r: short maturation time and life span, high death rate, lots of young with little parental care
K: opposite of r
QuestionAnswer
Populations-400
You catch 40 chickadees, band them and release
them. Two weeks later you catch 100
chickadees, 20 of them are banded. What is the
total population of chickadees?
Answer: 20/100 = 20%
.20x = 40
x = 40/.20
x = 200
QuestionAnswer
Populations-500
What will happen to the rate of growth of a population if you increase K? Explain.
• Answer: The rate of growth is dependent on K-N/K. If you increase K, there are more resources, therefore greater chance of survival of the existing organisms and their progeny.
QuestionAnswer
Vocabulary-100
The study of statistics relating to births and
deaths in a population
• Answer: demography
QuestionAnswer
Vocabulary-200
A model describing population growth that
levels off as population size approaches
carrying capacity.
Answer: logistic growth
QuestionAnswer
Vocabulary-300
Harmless species looks like a different
species that is poisonous or otherwise
harmful to predators
Answer: Batesian mimicry
QuestionAnswer
Vocabulary-400
Compare and contrast cryptic coloration and
aposematic coloration.
Answer:
Compare: ways to avoid predation
Contrast: Cryptic = camoflauge
aposematic = bright colors to warn
QuestionAnswer
Vocabulary-500
What is a keystone species? Give an
example.
Answer: a species that makes an unusually
strong impact on community structure by
maintaining higher species diversity
Ex: beavers, elephants
QuestionAnswer
This & That-100
What causes our seasons?
• Answer: unequal heating of the earth’s
surface due to the 230 tilt of the earth
QuestionAnswer
This & That-200
At what time of year do lakes experience turnover? Explain why.
Answer: Fall and spring. Water is most dense at 40 Celsius, so it sinks at that temp. (Cooling in fall, warming in spring)
QuestionAnswer
This & That-300
The development of songs in birds is an
example of what type of behavior?
• Answer: imprinting
QuestionAnswer
This & That-400
What did the Fischer lovebird study
conclude about behavior?
• Answer: There are both a genetic and
environmental factors involved.
QuestionAnswer
This & That-500
Describe the difference between r-selected and K-
selected species.
• Answer: r = short maturation time, short
lifespan, high death rate, many offspring, one
reproductive episode, no parental care (K
selected are the opposite)
