     What is Animal Behavior?
  • Animal behavior is the scientific study of 
   everything animals do, whether the animals are 
   single-celled organisms, insects, birds, 
   mammals, fish, or humans. 
  • The field of animal behavior is concerned with 
   understanding the 
   –causes, 
   –functions, 
   –development, and 
   –evolution of behavior. 
           Causes
  • The causes of behavior include all of the 
   stimuli that affect behavior, whether 
   –external (food or predators) or 
   –internal (hormones or nervous system changes).
  • What are the stimuli that elicit the response, 
   and how has it been modified by recent 
   learning?
               Function
   • The function of behavior include both
    – the immediate effects of behavior on an animal (such 
     as attracting a mate), and 
    –the adaptive significance of the behavior in a particular 
     environment (such as huddling together in cold 
     weather). 
   • How does the behavior affect the animal's chances 
    of survival and reproduction? Why does the animal 
    respond that way instead of some other way?
        Development
  • The development of behavior is concerned 
   with the ways in which behavior changes over 
   the lifetime of an animal.
  • How does the behavior change with age, and 
   what early experiences are necessary for the 
   animal to display the behavior?
         Evolution
  • The evolution of behavior is concerned with 
   origins of behavior patterns and how these 
   change over generations of animals.
  • How does the behavior compare with similar 
   behavior in related species, and how might it 
   have begun through the process of phylogeny 
   (study of evolutionary relationships)?
