Research your assigned element below and be able to provide a specific example that demonstrates your understanding of the Essential knowledge specified below:
Essential knowledge 3.E.1: Individuals can act on information and communicate it to others.
a. Organisms exchange information with each other in response to internal changes and external cues, which can change behavior.
Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of the above concept by using an illustrative example such as:
• Fight or flight response
• Predator warnings
• Protection of young
• Plant-plant interactions due to herbivory
• Avoidance responses
b. Communication occurs through various mechanisms.
Evidence of student learning is a demonstrated understanding of each of the following:
1. Living systems have a variety of signal behaviors or cues that produce changes in the behavior of other organisms and can result in differential reproductive success.
To foster understanding of this concept, choose an illustrative example such as:
• Herbivory responses
• Territorial marking in mammals
• Coloration in flowers
2. Animals use visual, audible, tactile, electrical and chemical signals to indicate dominance, find food, establish territory and ensure reproductive success.
To foster understanding of this concept, choose an illustrative example such as:
• Bee dances
• Birds songs
• Territorial marking in mammals
• Pack behavior in animals
• Herd, flock, and schooling behavior in animals
• Predator warning
• Colony and swarming behavior in insects
• Coloration
c. Responses to information and communication of information are vital to natural selection and evolution. [See also 1.A.2]
Evidence of student learning is a demonstrated understanding of the following:
1. Natural selection favors innate and learned behaviors that increase survival and reproductive fitness.
Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of the above concept by using an illustrative example such as:
• Parent and offspring interactions
• Migration patterns
• Courtship and mating behaviors
• Foraging in bees and other animals
• Avoidance behavior to electric fences, poisons, or traps
2. Cooperative behavior tends to increase the fitness of the individual and the survival of the population.
To foster student understanding of this concept, students can choose an illustrative example such as:
• Pack behavior in animals
• Herd, flock and schooling behavior in animals
• Predator warning
• Colony and swarming behavior in insects
