Study Notes
Thermoregulation in Animals
- Some animals bathe to cool down
- Flying insects, such as bees, use shivering to warm up before taking flight
- Adjusting metabolic heat production is a way for animals to regulate body temperature
Behavioral Adaptations
- Some animals, like hummingbirds, enter a state of inactivity, such as seeking shelter, during extreme periods of weather or when food is scarce
- Inactivity helps animals conserve energy and survive during harsh conditions
Communication in Animals
- Pheromones are chemical substances released by an individual to affect other individuals of the same species
- Pheromones are used for communication, such as to bring about mating or other behaviors
Territorial Behavior
- Territories are used for feeding, mating, and rearing young
- Territories are fixed in location and help animals defend their resources and space
