Innate and learned behaviors function fully without prior exposure to a stimulus and are
acquired changes in behavior throughout life respectively. Taxis and kinesis are responses to a
stimulus that either move towards or away from the stimulus or change in movement in response
to a stimulus. Territoriality is defensive behaviors of an area from another organism, primarily of
the same species. The waggle dance is used by honey bees to communicate the location of food
sources. Circadian rhythms are the daily activity cycles, usually twenty four hours, demonstrated
by many organisms. Courtship is mutual attraction of opposite sexes (heterosexual). Foraging is
simply searching and processing of food. Hibernation is slowing of daily activities during winter.
An example of this is metabolism. Migration is simply organisms moving from one location to
another. Pack behavior is where organisms group together and act collectively without direction.
Altruism is basically animal sacrifice. It is the increase of fitness for one organism and the
simultaneous decrease of fitness of another.
