Behavioral Ecology
Two types of questions:
Proximate questions: Focus on environmental stimuli that trigger behavior and physiology behind response
“How?”
Ultimate questions: Focus on evolutionary significance of the behaviors
Why?”

Proximate Questions
Proximate questions address the mechanisms that produce a behavior.
The environmental stimuli, the genetic and physiological mechanisms that make it possible
Example- How does an animal carry out a particular behavior?

Red-crowned cranes breed in spring and early summer. Choose the proximate explanation:
A. Breeding is most likely to be successful in spring and early summer.
B. Increasing day length triggers the release of breeding hormones.
C. Ample food is available for chicks at this time.

Ultimate Questions
Ultimate questions address the evolutionary significance of a behavior
How a behavior increases the evolutionary fitness of the animal demonstrating it, helping it to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Example- Why does the animal show this behavior?

What is evolutionary fitness?
![Page 7: Animal Behavior Presentation - AP BIOLOGY WITH MRS. HAAS · Animals modify behavior to keep ratio of energy intake to energy expenditure high Ex. chipmunks.

Adaptive behavior
An adaptive behavior increases an individual’s evolutionary fitness relative to other individuals in the population. (Similar to a physical adaptation)

Behavioral Ecology
Behavior= What an animal does and how the animal does it
Ethology= Study of how animals behave, particularly in their natural environment

Behavioral Ecology
Based on idea that animals behave in such a way as to maximize fitness
Idea only works because genes influence behavior (nature)
Fitness= Passing on genes to offspring
Animals modify behavior to keep ratio of energy intake to energy expenditure high
Ex. chipmunks

Amount of food taken in will be in proportion to amount of energy spent
What is the relationship to fitness?

EthologistsNikolaas Tinbergen
Nobel Prize- Eliciting behavior patterns in animals
Four Questions
Mechanical- How does the behavior occur?
Developmental- How has the behavior changed?
Evolution- How did this behavior come about?
Fitness- Why is this behavior beneficial?

Round dance meant food was close
“Waggle” dance showed distance and direction of food

LearningModification of behavior based on experiences
Habituation= Lack of response to stimuli that give no information
Spacial Learning= Based on experience with structure of environment
Associative Learning= Connecting one event with another
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning

Learning: Habituation“Cry wolf ” effect
Decrease in response to repeated occurrences of stimulus
Enables animals to disregard unimportant stimuli
Why?
Ex. falling leaves not triggering a response in baby birds
