1. In the territorial behavior of the stickleback fish, the red belly of one male elicits attack from another male by functioning as

a sign stimulus

2. Which of the following statements is (are) true of fixed action patterns?

They are highly stereotyped, instinctive behaviors. They are triggered by sign stimuli in the environment and, once begun are continued to completion. An inappropriate stimulus can sometimes trigger them.

3. What type of signal is long-lasting and works at night?

olfactory

4. What type of signal is brief and can work at night or among obstructions?

auditory

5. What type of signal is fast and requires daylight with no obstructions?

visual

6. Which scientist formulated four questions that motivate the modern study of animal behavior?

Niko Tinbergen

7. Which scientist determined that digger wasps used landmarks to locate nest entrances?

Niko Tinbergen

8. Which scientist studied imprinting of greylag geese?

Konrad Lorenz

9. A cage containing male mosquitoes has a small earphone placed on top, through which the sound of a female mosquito is played. All the males immediately fly to the earphone and thrust their abdomens through the fabric of the cage. What is the best explanation for this behavior?

Copulation is a fixed action pattern, and the female flight sound is a sign stimulus that initiates it.

10. If mayflies lay eggs on roads instead of in water, this behavior could involve which of the following?

misdirected response to a sign stimulus
