Innate behavior
|
Behaviors that consist of more or less predictable responses or sequences to different types of stimuli
|
|
Learned behavior
|
Behavior that is acquired as the result of experience of each individual
|
|
Innate vs learned
|
Species members share patterns of responses and a capacity to learn, can differ bc of experience, learning modifies behavior
|
|
Limitations to learning in insects
|
Small size, small brain. respond quickly, short life span, developmental patterns may reduce benefits of learned behavors
|
|
Preimaginal conditioning
|
Feeding behaviors, caterpillars. carryover of learned info from an immature to adult stage.
|
|
Innate behavior forms
|
Simplest form-reflex, reflex arc-neural loop generating a response
|
|
Orientation behavior
|
Processes that they use to organize their behavior with respect to spatial features of the environment
|
|
Positional/primary orientation
|
Body position/posture conrol. dorsal light reaction, keeps head oriented in correct body position
|
|
Secondary orientation
|
Translatory processes. kinesis/taxis
|
|
Kinesis
|
Random locomotor reaction where speed of movement or frequency of turning depends on the intensity of stimulation. stimulus AND behavior
|
|
Taxis
|
Movements directed toward or away from a source of stimulation. orienting movements eg
|
|
Klinotaxis
|
Comparisons of stimulus intensity; symmetrical deviations
|
|
Menotaxis
|
Maintenance of constant angle to stimulus (bee dance)—why insects are attracted to light. They will spiral toward a light to maintain orientation
|
|
Anemotaxis
|
Movement in response to wind; olfactory cues—odor stimulates upwind movement
|
|
Akinesis
|
Faking death
