I. Title Laboratory 11. Animal Behavior II. Purpose The purpose of the animal behavior lab was to understand the concept of distributing organisms in a resource gradient. This lab was also made to help us differentiate between kinesis and taxis. After completing the animal behavior lab‚ we should be able to describe aspects of animal behavior as far as its orientation behavior‚ agonistic behavior‚ dominance display‚ and the way it mates or who it chooses to mate with. We should also understand

Stephen Pidliskey 09/15/07 P1 Park ISOPOD BEHAVIOR LAB REPORT Background Information: In our lab we were working with isopods‚ also known as pill bugs or rollie pollies. The isopods that we worked with were land isopods. They like to live in moist places under untouched objects such as boards‚ bricks‚ rotting logs and or rocks. Basically‚ they will live anywhere! If you are lucky enough‚ you can even find them next to buildings where it is moist and if there is food. All living organisms like

exploration. | INTRODUCTION Animals behave in different ways for different basic reasons. Among the most important reasons are in feeding behavior which is to find food‚ how they avoid predator in prey-predator relationship‚ how they mating in reproduction‚ and also how they socializing. Behaviors help animals to survive and ethology is one of the scientific studies to observe and record behavior. Behaviors also have been induced by repeated stress include a decrease of behaviors like grooming‚ food consumption

Orientation behaviors place the animal in their specific environment. Animals move away from sensory input in taxis where as behavior is the response to sensory input. Stimulus’ of light‚ heat‚ moisture‚ sound‚ or chemicals are mostly found in taxis. Kinesis is the movement that does not result in orientation with stimulus. When animals respond to each

Critical Commentary of Homi Bhabha’s ‘Of Mimicry and Man: The ambivalence of Colonial discourse’ Homi Bhabha explains the weaknesses of colonial discourse by suggesting that the techniques which ‘broadcast the dominance and impenetrability’ (Kumar-Das 1992:362) of the subject causes its weaknesses to arise. Bhabha makes a psychoanalytic analysis based on the work of Jacques Lacan and Frantz Fanon‚ among several authors. His definition of colonial mimicry takes the form of discussing the issues

Innate behaviors like breathing and learned behaviors are talking or walking. Pill bugs are the animals we observed in the lab. Pill bugs are a family

FIGURE 1: Mean action potential activity of tactile sensilla receptors in femural of cockroach. In this experiment‚ it was found that there exists a spontaneous resting activity within the cockroach tibia even though tactile sensilla receptors have not yet been stimulated. From figure 1 it can be observed that the mean spontaneous resting activity of the cockroach leg is

Nevertheless‚ it was to mimicry that the colonizer turned to rule over the colonized‚ at once weakening its claim to authority as mimicry encourages the hybridity that the colonizer resists and equips the colonized to resist the authority of the colonizer. By refusing to accept hybridity yet utilizing mimicry within the colonized‚ the colonizer becomes a manifestation of ambivalence as he creates the conditions necessary
