Animal Behavior
Across
- 2. Positive effect of a trait on an individual's reproductive success
- 3. The intensity of a waveform
- 4. Refers to young that remain in the nest for a period of time
- 7. Cooperative behavior that lowers the donor's reproductive success while increasing the success of the recipient
- 10. A segment of DNA that encodes information about the sequence of amino acids that make up a protein
- 11. A color-pigment that animals produce in skin and hair
- 12. The ability to determine the direction of movement
- 14. When the donor benefits from a social interaction but the receiver does not (deceit/manipulation)
- 15. Contribution a trait makes to a species fitness
- 17. Permanent movement from birthplace to somewhere else
- 18. The rate at which the amplitude of a stimulus increases and decreases
- 19. The ability to attachments to or to attend to particular stimuli early in development
- 20. Mating system where males fertilize the eggs of several females
- 21. Region of DNA containing many linked genes that can influence the development of a behavioral phenotype
- 23. A mating system in which one male mates with one female and vice versa
- 25. Mental process of acquiring knowledge through thought,experience and the sense
Down
- 1. When an edible species resembles a distasteful or dangerous one
- 5. Intentional killing of offspring
- 6. When associating in groups makes it less likely that an individual will be kill
- 8. A chemical substance produced by an animal that affects the behavior or physiology of others of it's species
- 9. An unintentional and unselected transfer of information between a sender and reciever
- 13. An area in which individuals exhibit a readiness to defend
- 14. The point of near-contact between one nerve cell and another
- 16. Having 2 sets of chromosomes and, therefore, having 2 copies of genes
- 20. When young are mobile soon after birth
- 22. A colony that has 1 reproductive queen
- 24. A sensory signal capable of triggering complex behavior
