Introduction to Ethology (The Zoological Study of Animal Behavior) NOTE: If you don't see figures in an upper window, click here! Back to the Ethology Home Page! Ethology is the zoological study of animal behavior. Ethologists have a special interest in genetically-programmed behaviors known as instincts . The predictable behavioral programs are inherited by animals through their parents and portions of the programs are open to natural selection and modification. Thus, these behaviors are phylogenetic adaptations that have an evolutionary history. This often leads to a comparative approach and has led researchers to search for the biological basis of human behavior by comparing our activities to those of our close relative (other primates; especially chimps). There are two schools of thought as to how animals acquire their behavior patterns. Some hold to the view that animals, including humans, learn all their behavior during the course of ontogenetic development. Ducks, for example, learn how to quack like a duck and don't honk like a goose because they hear their parents while within the egg). Experiments have since shown that these behaviors are built-in and not learned. Very complex behavior patterns can be passed on through the genes. A spider's orb web, for example , is built perfectly the first time a spider attempts construction, despite the fact that they may have no prior experience with webs (Fig 1). Female spiders construct egg sacs in the Fall, and then die. The spiderlings emerge in the spring, and never had experience with an orb web before building their own.

5. Ontologies For Ethology The main page for the ontologies for ethology project. http://mesquiteproject.org/ontology/

Ontologies for Ethology Peter E. Midford Introduction Welcome to the ontologies for ethology page, documenting a project to develop knowledge representation, including ontologies, as tools for describing and analyzing animal behavior. The project is currently developing a set of ontologies for courtship behavior in a clade of Habronattus jumping spiders from raw video of behavior sequences. Ultimately, a small library of such knowledge bases will serve as sample data to develop methods for comparative studies and (secondarily) other varieties of linking between knowledge bases across behavior studies. The plan is to eventually provide these comparative tools into the Mesquite tool. The purpose of this project is not to propose a particular upper-level or coding for ontologies, but to demonstrate ontology construction as a general technique for coding ethograms and other descriptions of behavior into machine understandable forms. As such, it is intended to encompass, rather than serve as an alternative to, previous attempts at formalizing the description of behavior.

Ethological or Biological Perspective Ethology is the study of the evolutionary significant behavior of people in their natural surroundings. From this perspective, development is examined in terms of the role of evolution and biology. Including issues related to the brain and nervous system, as well as hormones and genes. A major theme is that of "critical" or "sensitive periods" of development. Critical periods are those times at which we are biologically ready to acquire new behavior. (DNA Strand) The four basic concepts of Ethology: Species-Specific Innate Behavior Same in all of us, inherited and are adaptive. The Evolutionary Perspective The changes in us by different generations Learning Predispositions Predispostions towards certain kinds of learning. Etological Methodolgy Two ways of studying behavior are naturalistic observation and laboratory experimentation. A Related view is that of Sociobiology, which argues that given behaviors occur because of the desire or need for our genes to replicate themselves. Return to Theories and Research

Contents What is cognitive ethology? Initial criticisms of cognitive ethology Links between philosophy and cognitive ethology Folk psychology and cognitive ethology ... consciousness, theory of mind, and evolutionary psychology What is cognitive ethology? The simplest characterization of cognitive ethology is that it is the marriage of cognitive science and ethology. But simple characterizations of any marriage should never be trusted, and this one masks some fundamental tensions between the two partners. Cognitive science is an umbrella term for convergent approaches to the study of mind in linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and, increasingly the neurosciences. Cognitive psychology emerged during the latter half of the 20th century primarily as a laboratory science. Countless thousands of undergraduate students have partially met course requirements by reporting to fluorescent-lighted, windowless rooms in the basements of campus psychology buildings, where they have been subjected to questions about everything from nonsense syllables to subliminal visual cues, all in an effort to probe the inner workings of the sophomore mind. Modern neuroscience, with the advent of fMRI is increasingly shepherding these same students into brightly-lit rooms where they can perform similar tasks while their heads are encased by large magnets. Classical ethology has, on the other hand, typically emphasized the importance of observing animals under more-or-less natural conditions, with the objective of understanding the evolution, adaptation (function), causation, and development of the species-specific behavioral repertoire (
