| 9410647267 | Ethology | study of animal behavior |  | 0 |
| 9410647269 | Innate | behaviors that are inherited |  | 1 |
| 9410647270 | Kinesis | random movement of animal in relation to stimulus; the stimulus causes an alteration in rate or direction of activity or movement. |  | 2 |
| 9410647271 | Fixed-action Patterns | sequence of unlearned acts that are unchangeable and usually continue until they are completed |  | 3 |
| 9410647273 | Learned Behaviors | Behaviors that are modified based on specific experiences example: nest building |  | 4 |
| 9410647274 | Habituation | loss of responsiveness to stimuli with little or no meaning; animal can ignore meaningless stimuli |  | 5 |
| 9410647276 | Classical Conditioning | arbitrary stimulus associated with particular outcome example: training a dog |  | 6 |
| 9410647277 | Operant Conditioning (trial and error) | when faced with two choices, an organism can learn to choose the option with the best reward. example: students who study to improve their grades |  | 7 |
| 9410647280 | Altruism | engaging in behavior that doesn't help you, but helps rest of population (selfless) |  | 8 |
| 9410647282 | Kin Selection | altruistic behavior that enhances reproductive success of relatives |  | 9 |
| 9410647283 | Agonistic Behavior | threats, rituals, and combat; settles disputes over resources, asserting dominance | 10 | |
| 9410647285 | Sexual Selection | seeking and attracting mates/choosing and competing for males |  | 11 |
| 9410647286 | Pheromones | Chemical signals |  | 12 |
| 9410647288 | Imprinting | Some baby bird species will follow the first moving object they see usually the mother. example: ducks |  | 13 |
| 9410647289 | Migration | organisms move from one place to another periodically, generally in response to temperature or food availability. example: geese, monarch butterflies |  | 14 |
| 9410647292 | Positive Chemotaxis | An organism responds to a chemical by moving towards it. example: male cockroach pheromones attract females |  | 15 |
| 9410647293 | Negative Chemotaxis | An organism responds to a chemical by moving away from it. example: the smell of a skunk repels other animals |  | 16 |
| 9410647294 | Positive Phototaxis | An organism responds to light by moving towards it. example: moths to a light |  | 17 |
| 9410647295 | Negative Phototaxis | An organism responds to light by moving away from it. example: moles live underground |  | 18 |
| 9410679506 | Proximate Cause | Immediate causes such as genetic, developmental, physiological processes that permit the animal to carry out a specific behavior, answers how and what questions | 19 | |
| 9410679507 | Ultimate Cause | The evolutionary explanations for why a certain behavior occurs | 20 |
