Study Notes
Types of Mobility
- Phoresis is a type of mobility in which one organism is carried by another, often seen in symbiotic relationships (e.g., barnacles on whales).
Reasons for Animal Movement
- Animals move primarily to find food, escape predators, reproduce, and seek shelter.
- Movement is essential for survival and adaptation in changing environments.
Passive Locomotion
- An example of passive locomotion is the transportation of organisms by water currents or wind, without their active involvement (e.g., seeds dispersing).
Migratory Animals
- Migratory animals typically utilize mechanisms such as guided navigation and energy-efficient flight patterns to cover extensive distances during migration periods.
Self-Propelled Locomotion
- An example of self-propelled locomotion is the swimming of fish, which actively move through water using fins.
