Study Notes
Animal Behaviour
- A fundamental aspect of an animal’s daily life is behaviour.
- The primary focus of neurobiology in the context of animal behaviour is to understand how the nervous system controls behaviour.
- A limitation of early studies of animal behaviour was that they were often anecdotal and lacked scientific rigor.
- A significant technological advancement that aided the study of animal behaviour was the development of high-speed cameras, which allowed researchers to capture and analyze animal movements in detail.
- A potential problem with conducting experiments on captive wild-caught animals is that they may be stressed or behave differently than they would in the wild.
- The primary concern of every animal, according to the dilemma of every animal, is to survive and reproduce.
- The question of how does the behaviour develop is NOT one of Tinbergen's 4 questions.
- The primary benefit of the increasing number of studies on various topics and species in ethology is the ability to draw more general conclusions about animal behavior.
- An animal is any multicellular organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain nutrition by consuming other organisms or their products.
- A limitation of early studies in ethology was that they often focused on a small number of species and behaviors.
