Animal Behavior - CrashCourse Biology

The video explores animal behavior, focusing on how natural selection influences both physical traits and behaviors. It discusses the roles of morphology and physiology, learned and adaptive behaviors, and introduces Tinbergen's four questions for understanding behavior. The video also covers the work of ethologists like Lorenz, the concepts of foraging and sexual selection, and the evolution of altruism through inclusive fitness. It concludes with a call for viewer interaction.

How do learned behaviors differ from innate behaviors in animals?

What are the two questions that need to be asked to understand why a behavior is favored by natural selection?

Discuss the significance of Nico Tinbergen's contributions to the study of animal behavior.

What is the optimal foraging model and how does it relate to animal behavior?
