high above-ground biomass

learning or the individuals condition

cost benefit analysis - answer-animals appear to weigh the costs and benefits of
responding to a particular situation in various ways

foraging - answer-when animals seek food

piloting - answer-use of familiar landmarks

compass orientation - answer-movement oriented in a specific direction

true navigation - answer-ability to locate a specific place on earth's surface

circadian clock - answer-maintains a 24-hour rhythm of chemical activity-animals use
sun for direction

communication - answer-process in which a signal from one individual modifies the
behavior of another individual

altruism - answer-behavior that has a fitness cost to the individual exhibiting it and a
