Blackcaps
Migrate or not
Direction
Distance
Studying migration in captivity
oNestlings raised in captivity
oStudy nocturnal restlessness in cages
oRecord direction, magnitude, and duration using an ink pad
and paper on inside of funnel walls
Inheritance of direction
oAdjacent populations fly in different directions
oHybrids between populations fly in an intermediate direction-
polygenic inheritance
oMigration direction is inherited and adaptive
Honeybees
Hygienic behaviour
Two components of behaviour:
oUncap cell of dead pupa
oRemove dead pupa from hive
Caused by two separate recessive alleles
Adapted to the presence of a bacterial disease as it stops the spread of
the disease within the hive
Crickets
Selection on cricket song
Found to be a heritable trait as could be selected for
Dogs
Selected to vary behaviour
Paternal behaviour in voles
Prairie vole
oLasting pair bonds
oPaternal care
oActive vasopressin receptor gene (“social” gene)
Meadow vole
oSolitary
oNo paternal care
oLess active vasopressin receptor gene
Transgenic voles became social- inserting the Prairie vole “social gene” into asocial
Meadow voles made them social
Balloon fly
Courtship
Males make hollow silk balloons and gather in groups

Document Summary
Studying migration in captivity: nestlings raised in captivity, study nocturnal restlessness in cages, record direction, magnitude, and duration using an ink pad and paper on inside of funnel walls. Inheritance of direction: adjacent populations fly in different directions, hybrids between populations fly in an intermediate direction- polygenic inheritance, migration direction is inherited and adaptive. Two components of behaviour: uncap cell of dead pupa, remove dead pupa from hive. Adapted to the presence of a bacterial disease as it stops the spread of the disease within the hive. Found to be a heritable trait as could be selected for. Prairie vole: lasting pair bonds, paternal care, active vasopressin receptor gene ( social gene) Meadow vole: solitary, no paternal care, less active vasopressin receptor gene. Transgenic voles became social- inserting the prairie vole social gene into asocial. Males make hollow silk balloons and gather in groups. Females select the males with the most beautiful balloons and they mate.
