This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tinbergen's 4 questions, 1. Adaptifve Function / "Current Utility" which asks How does the behavior increase an individual's survial and/or reproduction?, milk production by female mammals external factors Offspring suckling nipples for their meal ultimately leads to milk ejection., some behaviors being "co-opted" from behaviors that existed previously with suckling behavior by babies being exhibited by all mammals (phylogenetic perspective)., Nerves in the nipple send signals to the hypothalamus causing the release of hormones. including oxytocin, For mammals feeding babies: Function of the nipple-search behavior is that with a first milk meal the baby gets essential antibiodies, bacteria, and hormones, and food providing increased survival, How does the behavior increase an individual's survial and/or reproduction? for example For mammals feeding babies: Function of the nipple-search behavior is that with a first milk meal the baby gets essential antibiodies, bacteria, and hormones, and food, 3. Development / "Ontogeny" of behavior which asks How does this behavior develop over an individual's lifetime (or some specific time)?, How does the behavior increase an individual's survial and/or reproduction? for example The black headed gull removes empty egg shells from its nest to deter predators from hatchlings., How does this behavior develop over an individual's lifetime (or some specific time)? for example Rabbit mothers milk includes a pheromone that babies respond to over the newborn period. They respond the most at the youngest and the least at the oldest of the weaning phase., 1. Adaptifve Function / "Current Utility" which asks What is the behavior for?, Tinbergen's 4 questions include 1. Adaptifve Function / "Current Utility", Tinbergen's 4 questions include 3. Development / "Ontogeny" of behavior, What is the behavior for? for example For mammals feeding babies: Function of the nipple-search behavior is that with a first milk meal the baby gets essential antibiodies, bacteria, and hormones, and food, The black headed gull removes empty egg shells from its nest to deter predators from hatchlings. providing an Anti-predator function, Nerves in the nipple send signals to the hypothalamus causing the release of hormones. including prolactin, 4. Evolution of behavior which asks Where does this behavior fit in in relation to the phylogeny of animals?, 2. Mecahnisms of Control which asks what internal & external factors control the behavior?, Tinbergen's 4 questions include 2. Mecahnisms of Control, suckling behavior by babies being exhibited by all mammals (phylogenetic perspective). and mammary glands are secretory glans modified from sweat glands., Tinbergen's 4 questions include 4. Evolution of behavior
