Allison Jones Dr. McNelis AP Biology--Class 6 2013 September 4 Introduction The study of animal behavior is ethology. There are two basic categories of animal behavior: learned behavior and innate‚ or inherited‚ behavior. Learned behavior is when animals acquire knowledge about their behavior through experience. Unlike learned behaviors‚ innate behavior exists naturally in animals‚ meaning that animals are born with some behaviors. In order to find a suitable environment‚ animals use orientation

Ethology was first applied to research on children in the 1960s. It has become more influential in recent years and is concerned with the adaptive‚ or survival‚ value of behavior and its evolutionary history (Hinde‚ 1989). The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin. Its modern foundations were founded by two European zoologists‚ Lorenz and Tinbergen (Dewsbury‚ 1992). Watching the behaviors of animal species in their natural habitats‚ Lorenz and Tinbergen observed behavioral patterns

We focused in on the orientation behavior which showed which environments the pill bugs favored. Kinesis is a random movement in which the organisms don’t respond to the stimulus. Taxis is when the organism/animal moves towards or away from the stimulus. Also within ethology is an animal’s agonistic behavior. This behavior shows how animals
