- Sarah Hardy
- infanticide-langurs, reproductive adaptation
- Jeanne Altmann
- female primatology
- BF Skinner
- behavior learned
- Niko Tinbergen
- shell whites of birds
- ontogeny
- development; imprinting/following
- 3-Spined Stickleback
- territory defense & courtship, males primary care - build algal nest; males get brighter during breeding season (red underside); preference: pear shaped females; male zigzag dances
- Budtenandt
- ground 500,000 female moths for 12mg bombykol; high species specificity
- proximate causation
- how does it work, physiological and ontogeny
- Jane Goodall
- chimpazees
- Bees & communication
- location of food source: round dance = close to hive; waggle dance = far from hive
- Silkmoth
- bombykol pheromone; females release from glands on abdomen, males detect via antenna;
- Von Frische
- 1st sensory/non-human communication, bees not colorblind, sugar&blue
- Vervet monkeys & communication
- produce specific predator alarm calls to provoke different tactics; can also used to deceive for gain
- ultimate causation
- why did it develop, phylogeny and adaptive significance
- Firefly
- each species produces unique flash patterns to attract = pre-reproductive isolation
- adaptive significance
- environment leads to change
- Instinct Theory
- KS->IRM->FAP; implies neural circuitry (goose operating system)
- Konrad Lorenz
- phylo behavior
- phylogeny
- map behavior - evolutionary chain
