They may stalk, chase and ambush a targeted intruder while displaying offensive body postures, including hissing, swatting and growling. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867733695 2021-11-04 15:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867733695 Lions mark their territory by chasing any animals encroaching their turf. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867775239 2021-11-04 15:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867775239 A niche is a place or position that's particularly appropriate for someone or something, especially due to being very specific and different from others. Niche often refers to a position or interest that allows someone or something to thrive in a particular environment. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867791706 2021-11-04 15:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867791706 An animals’ niche helps species like shark survive because it helps them getting their food. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867814526 2021-11-04 15:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867814526 A rabbit’s niche can help them survive by protecting them from their predators. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867826649 2021-11-04 15:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867826649 Courtship displays are a form of communication, enabling birds to signal their willingness to mate. They also give the birds an opportunity to assess their partner. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867837506 2021-11-04 15:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867837506 A pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867846648 2021-11-04 16:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867846648 A pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867852529 2021-11-04 16:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867852529 Hibernation or “winter sleep” is the state of inactivity or low metabolic process performed by the animals during winters. Aestivation or “summer sleep”, on the other hand, is the low metabolic process by the animals during summers. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867860118 2021-11-04 16:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867860118 The cocoon traps moisture and lets in air as the fish estivates. As the metabolism of the lungfish slows, it digests muscle in its tail to consume nutrients and stay alive. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867864832 2021-11-04 16:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867864832 Bears hibernate during winter, but aren't sleeping the whole time. Hibernation for bears simply means they don't need to eat or drink, and rarely urinate or defecate. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867870800 2021-11-04 16:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867870800 is the inherent inclination of a living organism towards a particular complex behaviour, containing both innate and learned elements. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867876612 2021-11-04 16:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867876612 An example of instinct would be a dog drooling every time it is exposed to food. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867881243 2021-11-04 16:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867881243 Learned behavior is behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867884998 2021-11-04 16:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867884998 An example of learned behaviors is when baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867888953 2021-11-04 16:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867888953 Imprint is a mark made by pressing something onto a softer substance so that its outline is reproduced. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867894238 2021-11-04 16:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1867894238 Ducklings hear their mother's voice and begin answering as soon as they've formed vocal structures. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868070348 2021-11-04 17:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868070348 Classical conditioning is when two stimuli are linked together to produce a new learned response in a person or animal. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868076030 2021-11-04 17:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868076030 An example of classic conditioning would be when people associate items with actions to get their dogs to do something. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868081108 2021-11-04 17:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868081108 It is a type of learning in which the organism successively tries various responses in a situation, seemingly at random, until one is successful in achieving the goal. It is to try a method, observing if it works, and if it doesn't try a new method. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868090275 2021-11-04 17:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868090275 An example of trial and error learning would be moving a large object such as a couch into your house. You first try to move it in through the front door and it gets stuck. Then you try other methods to successfully fit the couch. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868093541 2021-11-04 17:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868093541 Habituation is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated actions. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868119524 2021-11-04 17:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868119524 An example of habituation is rock squirrels are a commonly habituated animal in the park. If a person comes close trying to take a picture, the squirrel will scamper away. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868128901 2021-11-04 17:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868128901 AIDS is a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body's cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868141982 2021-11-04 18:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868141982 Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory passages causing fever, severe aching, and catarrh, and often occurring in epidemics. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868144596 2021-11-04 18:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868144596 Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease characterized by the growth of nodules (tubercles) in the tissues, especially the lungs. palaciosmunozt811 https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868146824 2021-11-04 18:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/palaciosmunozt811/d1vc8q6nwwa0ssq/wish/1868146824 Dutch Elm Disease is a fungal disease of elm trees that is spread by elm bark beetles.
