Frequency and time
What is a time budget?
100
Knowledge obtained about the quality of resource
What is public information?
100
The back-and-forth of adaptation in one species favouring counter adaptation in another.
What is the evolutionary arms race?
100
When a predator initiates an attack and pretty flee to try and escape
What is evasive action?
100
All males can benefit by aggregating in a location where they are likely to encounter many females
What is the hotspot hypothesis?
200
Different groups of individuals are subjected to differential selection on the trait in question.
What is Selection Experiment Method?
200
For a fixed time (Tt), energy intake rate is maximized when the forager spends, Tp, time in patch
What is the Marginal Value Theorem?
200
Visual distinctive features of a single prey type that, once learned, can enhance prey detection
What is a search image?
200
Vigilance behaviour declines as group size increases
What is the group effect?
200
Females engage in multi-male matings so that they can improve the fitness of their offspring via genetic mechanisms
What is the genetic quality hypothesis?
300
Field of comparative psychology that studies behaviour independent of animal mental states or consciousness
What is behaviourism?
300
Larger fish that have a symbiotic relationship with cleaner fish
What are client fish?
300
The prediction that each food type should either be always eaten when found or always rejected.
What is the zero-one rule?
300
Advertisement behaviour that informs a predator that it has been detected and that pursuit would not likely be successful.
What is the Pursuit-Deterrence hypothesis?
300
Life history strategy in which reproduction occurs once in a lifetime
What is semelparity?
400
Proportion of phenotypic variation in a population due to genetic variation
What is broad sense heritability?
400
If two patches have the same food (identical benefits) and the same costs they should be harvested down to the same food density
What is the Brown's model prediction?
400
A strategy that yields the highest fitness
What is Evolutionary Stable strategy
400
Two individuals can better defend a critical resource (like safe refuge) so selection favours pair formation and shared defense
What is the Territorial cooperation hypothesis?
400
Female lays eggs in the nest of another female
What is brood parasitism?
500
Birds that have the ability to learn song elements throughout their lifetime
What is an open-ended learner?
500
When the presence of the bystander/eavesdropper influences the behaviour of the signaller
What is the audience effect?
500
Female mating preferences are a byproduct of pre-existing biases in a female's sensory system
What is the sensory bias hypothesis?
500
The social associations and presumed mating behaviour of individuals based on those associations
What is a social mating system?
500
Traits involved with growth, reproduction and survivorship that are a result of natural selection
What are life history traits?
