Evolutionary Trends in Vertebrates
 Adaptive Radiation: process by
which a single species or small
group of species evolves into
several different forms that live in
different ways

Rapid growth in the diversity of a
group of organisms
 Convergent Evolution: process by
which unrelated organisms
independently evolve similarities
when adapting to similar
environments
AP Biology
Body Temperature & Homeostasis
 The control of body temperature is
important for maintaining homeostasis
in vertebrates…
 Particularly in habitats where
temperature varies widely within time of
day and with season
AP Biology
Body Temperature & Homeostasis
 Ectotherm: animal that
relies on interactions
with the environment to
help it control body
temperature (“cold
blooded”)
 Reptiles, fishes and
amphibians
AP Biology
Body Temperature & Homeostasis
 Endotherm: animal
that generates its own
body heat and
controls its body
temperature from
within (“warm
blooded”)
 Birds and mammals
AP Biology
Feeding
 Skulls and teeth adapted for feeding
on a much wider assortment of
foods
AP Biology
Respiration
 Aquatic chordates: tunicates, fishes,
and amphibian larvae
 GILLS
 Land vertebrates: adult amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals
 LUNGS
AP Biology
Circulation
 Single-loop
circulation
 Double-loop
circulation
 Heart chambers
AP Biology
Excretion
 Carried out by the
kidneys
AP Biology
Response
 Nonvertebrate chordates
have a relatively simple
nervous system with a mass
of nerve cells that form a
brain
 Vertebrates have a more
complex brain with distinct
regions, each with a
different function
AP Biology
Movement
 The skeletal and
muscular system
support a
vertebrate’s body
and make it possible
to control movement
AP Biology
Reproduction
 Almost all chordates reproduce sexually
 Oviparous: eggs develop outside the
mother’s body
 Ovoviviparous: eggs develop within the
mother’s body –young born alive
 Viviparous: embryos obtain nutrients directly
from the mother’s body-young born alive

Animal Behavior
Chapter 34: Biology II
AP Biology
Elements of Behavior
 Behavior: the way an organism reacts to changes
in its internal condition or external environment
 Stimulus: any kind of detectable sign that carries
information
 Response: single, specific reaction to a stimulus
AP Biology
Types of Stimuli




Light
Sound
Odors
Heat
 THE SENSES
 Some are different for different animals; i.e.
echolocation in dolphins
AP Biology
How Animals Respond
 When an animal
responds to a stimulus,
the body systems…
 sense organs
 nervous system
 muscles
 …interact to produce
the resulting behavior
AP Biology
Behavior and Evolution
 Innate Behavior: instinct, or inborn
behavior; behavior that appears in a
fully functional form the first time it is
performed
 Learned Behavior: behavior that is
altered as a result of experience
AP Biology
Learned Behavior
 Habituation
 Classical conditioning
 Operant conditioning
 Insight learning
AP Biology
Habituation
 Learning process by which an animal
decreases or stops its response to a
repetitive stimulus that neither rewards
nor harms it
AP Biology
Classical Conditioning
 Learning process in
which an animal
makes a mental
connection between
a stimulus and some
kind of reward or
punishment
AP Biology
AP Biology
Operant Conditioning
 Learning process in
which an animal learns to
behave in a certain way
through repeated practice,
in order to receive a
reward or avoid
punishment
 Trial-and-error learning
AP Biology
Insight Learning
 Learning process in
which an animal
applies something it
has already learned to a
new situation without a
period of trial and error
 Reasoning
AP Biology
Imprinting
 Learning based on
early experience
 Once imprinting
has occurred, the
behavior cannot be
changed
AP Biology
Patterns of Behavior
 Behavioral Cycles
 Courtship
 Social Behavior
 Competition and Aggression
 Communication
AP Biology
Behavioral Cycles
 Many animals respond to periodic changes in
the environment with daily or seasonal cycles
of behavior
 Migration: periodic movement and return of
animals from one place to another
 Circadian Rhythm: behavioral
cycle that occurs in a daily
pattern; i.e. sleep
AP Biology
Courtship
 Type of behavior in which an
animal sends out stimuli…
 Sounds
 Visual displays, or
 Chemicals
 …in order to attract a member
of the opposite sex
AP Biology
Social Behavior
 Usually members of a society
are related to one another
 Related individuals share a
large proportion of each other’s
genes
 Helping a relative survive
increases the chance that the
genes an individual shares with
that relative will be passed
along to offspring
AP Biology
Competition and Aggression
 Territory: specific
area occupied and
protected by an
animal or group of
animals
 Aggression:
threatening behavior
that one animal uses
to gain control over
another
AP Biology
Communication
 Passing of information from
one organism to another
 Visual signals
 Chemical signals
 Sound signals
 Language**
AP Biology
Animal Behavior Terminology

stimulus in its environment
 Innate behavior



 Fight-or-flight response


AP Biology
Preparation of the body to either fight or run
from the danger
Controlled by hormones
Animal Behavior Terminology
 Instinct


A complex pattern of innate behavior that begins
with a stimulus and continues until all responses
have been completed
Ex. Migration, aggressive behavior, courtship
behavior, circadian rhythm, and territorial
behavior
 Circadian rhythm

A 24-hour cycle of behavior, cycle of sleeping and
wakefulness
 Mimicry
The resemblance of one organism to another or to
an object in its surroundings for concealment and
AP Biology
protection from predators

Animal Behavior Terminology
 Migration


The instinctive seasonal movement of animals

minute in order to conserve energy
Ex. Bears
 Habituation
