Log observations on the feeding behavior of the cockroach in Ta ble 1. Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding.
Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing.
Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input. It synthesizes sensory input to compute an appropriate motor response like leg extension etc.
Canals in the skulls of Tiktaalik show that it had a lateral line system. The function of this system is to ______.
detect movement of the water
find fish by echolocation
sense ground vibrations that could indicate a predator was approaching
What is communication
between animals?
Communicative signals carry information
about
Communication is the transmission and
reception of signals between animat
Food (eg. food vectors)
Danger (eg alarm calls)
A signal is a stimulus transmited hom one
organism to another
The communicator's traits (eg. readiness to
mate, value for a mate, readiness to fight)
What is a signal?
What kinds of information do
animals communicate?
Communicative signals are exchanges
between
In some eusocial insect
species, indivkdals
transfer information about
food vectors to other
members of the colony
Conspecifics (sooal group members. potential
mates parents- offspring)
