Document Summary
Behaviors and genetic cascades: genes that control behavior typically embedded in genetic cascades, simple changes to just one gene can cause dramatic changes to complex behavior. Learning: change in behavior as a result of specific life experiences: simple learning - conditioning, classical (pavlov"s dog, unconditioned response: food/salivation, conditional salivation: metronome/salivation. Imprinting (geese, (penguins: fast & irreversible, occurs during a critical time window. Individual learned to open jae to remove crab prey: other individuals able to learn to do same by observing an individual that knew how, observational learning. Innate behavior: situation where mistakes are costly, learned behaviors. Individuals can make mistakes that aren"t overly costly. Communication: signal from one individual modifies behavior of another, signal: information containing behavior, visual, tactile, olfactory, auditory, often a combination of these. Deception in communication: both intra and interspecific, to persist it must be rare! To trick other organisms it can"t be too popular.
