Across
- 3. Stimulus that causes male three-spined sticklebacks to become aggressive.
- 5. Something fixed action patterns evolved to avoid as they are an instinct, allows for quick reaction times to new scenarios that have a large effect on fitness.
- 6. An extra strong stimulus that produces an exaggerated fixed action pattern response.
- 7. Fixed action patterns are an instinct that a species is born with and thus aren't effected by this level of analysis.
- 9. The neural network that detects a sign stimulus and activates a fixed action pattern.
- 12. A result of code breaking where two species are exerting selective pressure on each other resulting in their simultaneous evolution in an effort to outcompete each other.
- 14. A complex reaction to a stimulus that is in an instinct in all individuals of a given species, does not vary between individuals, and is always completed once started.
Down
- 1. A quick ___ time to stimuli that are vital to an organisms fitness is one of the reasons fixed action patterns evolved.
- 2. One of the levels of analysis fixed action patterns fall into, has to do with stimulus recognition and behavior activation.
- 4. When one species exploits another's fixed action pattern, typically by replicating the releaser, to benefit their fitness.
- 8. The stimulus that triggers a fixed action pattern.
- 10. Level of analysis that describes the main benefit behind fixed action patterns.
- 11. Elaborate fixed action pattern that male sage grouses perform in response to a specific sound made by females.
- 13. A behavior that is performed to completion from the first time it is performed, is a result of genetics instead of learning.
