Behaviour

behaviour

stimulus - external and internal

=> response (reaction)

behaviour is influenced by motivating factors (hunger)

ethology (research into animal behaviour)

ethologist

research question: (in Artis) what is the most common behaviour of my animal

How to....

- observe the animal for 10 minutes

- make an ethogram ( a list of the 10 most seen behaviours)

Then....

- use your ethogram to make a protocol 

- a chart in which you record an animals behaviour

- every 20 seconds you write down the behaviour (it has to be part of your ethogram!)

next...

- count the behaviours per category (of your ethogram)

- make a graph

What is the right order?

1. Histogram - ethogram - protocol
2. Ethogram - protocol - histogram
3. Protocol - ethogram - histogram
4. Histogram - protocol - ethogram

Research question: how do changes in temperature affect the movement of crickets. How would I do this research.

let’s practice

- first write down all the behaviours

- then we make an ethogram together

- we watch the video again an make a protocol

- we count all the behaviours

- we make a histogram together
