1. Habitat selection by animals is
   1. a learned trait
   2. makes evolutionary sense
   3. instinctive but can be modified by early learning
   4. an innate trait
2. Knowledge of animal behaviors is important in wildlife management because:
   1. some species have behavioral adaptations that need specific environmental cues that they get from their habitats
   2. behaviors are often keyed to the animals physiological status and can tell the wildlife biologist about the condition of the population
   3. wildlife biologists can take advantage of animal behaviors to detect and count them more easily
   4. all of the above
3. Territory differs from home range because:
   1. an animals' territory is larger than its' home range
   2. territory includes all the resources an animal needs to survive and reproduce successfully
   3. an animals' territory is the area or resources it defends
   4. all of the above
4. which BEST defines migration
   1. may be latitudinal, altitudinal, or nomadic
   2. waterfowl use migrational homing to return to the same sites that they have used before
   3. movement from one area to another with subsequent return
   4. none of the above
5. Dispersal is:
   1. beyond the realm of wildlife management
   2. the result of increased hormonal levels in the juvenile subclass of organism
   3. a round-trip movement from a home range to another home range
   4. a movement within the day to day activities of an animal
   5. one way movement without return and consequently an important mechanism of population expansion
6. Wecker studied prairie deer mice and found:
   1. innate selection for habitat can be modified by experience
   2. the do not contribute to hanta virus because of their dispersal capabilities
   3. mice have larger territories than previously thought
   4. the social organization of mice cannot be characterized as agrarian
   5. weight determines the propensity of mice to disperse
7. Prairie chicken populations can be monitored easily during the breeding season because of this behavior:
   1. brooding
   2. long incubation periods
   3. the drastic color change in plumage
   4. lekking
   5. aerial displays
8. This term refers to the relative length of days and nights:
   1. solar Luna
   2. photozygosity
   3. photoperiod
   4. diurnal
   5. orbital mechanism
9. This term is used to describe animal actively primarily around dawn and dusk:
   1. diurnal
   2. Carapace
   3. karyotin
   4. nocturnal
   5. crepuscular
10. The study of animal behavior is:
    1. origami
    2. ethology
    3. ecology
    4. ethnobotany
    5. endocrinology
