Unit 1, Lesson 18 Student Data Packet D: Relative Flight Distance vs. Number of Generations since Colonization of Cities
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

The graph displayed shows relative flight distance of birds vs. the number of generations since the birds have been present in urban areas. Each data point represents a different kind of bird, and the line is a linear regression line for this data.

Unit 1, Lesson 19 -Student Reading #1: Molecular Determinants of Scouting Behavior in Honey Bees
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Little is known about the molecular basis of differences in behavior among individuals. Here we report consistent novelty-seeking behavior, across different contexts, among honey bees in their tendency to scout for food sources and nest sites, and we reveal some of the molecular underpinnings of this behavior relative to foragers that do not scout. Note: this reading coincides with Student Activity Sheets.

Unit 1, Lesson 19 -Student Reading #2: Example of Inherited vs. Learned Behavior in Baboons
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

A respected scientist named Hans Kummer was working in a region containing two species of baboons with very different social systems. Savanna baboons live in large troops, with plenty of adult females and males. Hamadryas baboons, in contrast, have a more complex, multilevel society. Note: this reading coincides with Student Activity Sheets.

Unit 1, Lesson 1 Student Incremental Modeling Tracker (IMT) Activty Sheet
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Throughout our investigation of Addie’s case, we will be using the Incremental Modeling Tracker (IMT) as a thinking tool to help you keep track of and figure out important discoveries. You will refer back to the IMT regularly to help prioritize ideas and revise or build on our models for what’s going on with Addie. We will also use the IMT as a way to think with others about what is important in our models.

Unit 1, Lesson 20: Do juncos learn to be bolder or is this behavior something they inherited?
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Exploratory behavior in juncos is inherited. Alleles that are or are not inherited can influence what substances are or are not produced by cells in any living creature. We think this might be what is causing differences in their behavior.

Unit 1, Lesson 21: Are there differences inside the birds that would explain why they behave differently?
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

In stressful situations the amount of stress hormone in the blood stream is different for juncos from these different populations. This is correlated to the amount of exploratory behavior they engage in. The variation in this physiological mechanism is heritable, which leads to variation in behavior between juncos.
