Concept explainers

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.

Prairie dogs are small mammals that live in large colonies in burrows a the ground. Prairie dogs that are near their own relatives whena predator approaches are much more likely to issue a warning bark than those that are near unrelated prairie dogs. The prairie dogs that hear a warning bark are more likely to hide in their burrows than to remain above ground. However, the prairie dog that gives the warning bark is putting itself at increased risk of being identified and killed by the predator.Which of the following presents the most likely evolutionary explanation for the behaviors described? ZP chool The barking prairie dog is alerting unrelated prairie dogs to the predator, so it is not giving any advantage to its own relatives. The failure of the individual to bark when surrounded by unrelated prairie dogs ensures survival of the individual. The warning bark changes the behavior of the related prairie dogs nearby, allowing the prairie dog's family to have increased survival and…
