Examples of green-beard behavior have been found in hydrozoans, slime molds, yeast, and ants. An example is in side-blotch lizards, where blue-throated males preferentially establish territories next to each other. Results show that neighboring blue-throats are more successful at mate guarding.
Especially for the social sciences, this model helps to provide an integrative, foundational model for interdisciplinary collaboration, teaching and research (see The Four Central Questions of Biological Research Using Ethology as an Example – PDF).
A heavily studied example of a fixed action pattern is the feeding behavior of the Helisoma trivolvis , a type of snail. A study has shown that the intricate connections within the buccal ganglia (see nervous system of gastropods) form a central system whereby sensory information stimulates feeding in the Helisoma.
Outrage is a strong moral emotion characterized by a combination of surprise, disgust, [1] and anger, [2] usually in reaction to a grave personal offense. [3] It comes from old French "ultrage", which in turn borrows from classical Latin "ultra", meaning "beyond".
Communication is important for animals throughout the animal kingdom. For example, since female praying mantids are sexually cannibalistic, the male typically uses a cryptic form of display. [2] This is a series of creeping movements executed by the male as it approaches the female, with freezing whenever the female looks towards the male.
Moral emotions include disgust, shame, pride, anger, guilt, compassion, and gratitude, [5] and help to provide people with the power and energy to do good and avoid doing bad. [4] Moral emotions are linked to a person's conscience - these are the emotions that make up a conscience and promote learning the difference between right and wrong ...
Spectacular examples of multicellular behavior can be found among the myxobacteria. Myxobacteria travel in swarms containing many cells kept together by intercellular molecular signals . Most myxobacteria are predatory: individuals benefit from aggregation as it allows accumulation of extracellular enzymes which are used to digest prey ...
Human behavior is the potential and expressed capacity (mentally, physically, and socially) of human individuals or groups to respond to internal and external stimuli throughout their life. Behavior is driven by genetic and environmental factors that affect an individual.
