Understanding Adaptations Objective: To learn about how natural selection works and what it does Hypothesis: If an organisms has better traits that allow them to blend in or be harder to pick up then it will survive longer than others because predators cannot pray on them as easily. Environment Prey- Punchies- a new organism (paper hole punches) Predator- YOU Clock/watch with a second hand PROCEDURE: Spread your environment out on the lab bench. Describe the environment above Data Table #1 Randomly place 20 of each punchie onto the environment ( try to spread them out)

The Evolution of Psychology Psychology is an ancient art ?psyche? = soul ?logos? = study of a subject And a less ancient scientific discipline early 18th century - ?study of the mind? Multi-disciplinary approaches: Room for chemists, biologists, physiologists, sociologists, anthropologists, evolutionary everythingists, etc. Intellectual parents - philosophy and physiology And Wilheim Wundt, the godfather United all the different questions under one common mystery umbrella 1870 - first lab founded in University of Leipzig The Early Growth Phase Thanks to Wundt, started off on a good science foot. Scientific study of conscious experience: Attention Sensation and perception Reaction time etc.

Chapter 51: Animal Behavior Overview 1. How is behavior defined? ?A behavior is the nervous system?s response to a stimulus and is carried out by the muscular or the hormonal system ?Animal behavior is based on physiological systems and processes Concept 51.1 Discrete sensory inputs can stimulate both simple and complex behaviors 2. What is ethology? ?Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior, particularly in natural environments 3. What is the difference between proximate and ultimate causation? ?Proximate causation, or the ?how? explains or focuses on: ?Environmental stimuli triggering a behavior, and ?Genetic, physiological, and anatomical mechanisms underlying a behavior ?Ultimate causation, or ?why? explains or focuses on the:

Copyright ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. - 1 - Name___________________________ Period___________ Chapter 51: Animal Behavior Overview 1. How is behavior defined? A behavior is an action carried out by muscles under control of the nervous system in response to a stimulus. Concept 51.1 Discrete sensory inputs can stimulate both simple and complex behaviors 2. What is behavioral ecology? Behavioral ecology is the study of the ecological and evolutionary basis for animal behavior. 3. What is a fixed action pattern (FAP)? Give an example. A sequence of unlearned acts directly linked to a simple stimulus. Fixed action patterns are essentially unchangeable and, once initiated, usually carried to completion. The territorial

August 2013 Chapter 22 Descent with Modification A Darwinian View of Life Darwin introduces a new theory Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection on November 24, 1859 It focused on the diversity of organisms Their origins and relationships Their similarities and differences Their geographic distribution Adaptation to surrounding environments Presented evidence that many species from earth are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the modern species Proposed a mechanism for this process, which name is Natural Selection Natural Selection is that a population can change over generations, leaving heritable traits to their breeds, this population can get a lot of changes that can eventually form to a new specie

1. The half-life of Carbon-14 decaying to Nitrogen-14 is 5,730 years. A mammoth bone fossil found in Siberia appears to be 22,920 years old. If these fossils now contain 6 grams of C-14, how much C-14 did they contain when this mammoth died? 22,920 6 17,190 12 11,460 24 5,730 48 1 96 22,920 / 5,730 = 4 half lives OR end = starting amount / 2 ^ half-lives 6 = start / 2 ^ 4 6 = start / 16 96 = starting amount 2. A disease is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this gene. If one in 2,000 monkeys have albinism, what is the ratio of heterozygous carriers to those with the disease? P^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
