Abstract

Animal behavior is predictable. Their behavioral tendencies are influenced by the relationship of its

anatomy to their environment. By observing various forms of life, and associating the mechanism of their

abilities to perform a behavioral action, evolutionary influence thereafter, can be analyzed and deduced

from that point.

Introduction

The science and study of animal behavior involve an enormous array of complicated factors. For

instance, stereotyped responses are unlearned behavioral reactions to some environmental stimulus

predicated upon an organism relationship to its physical environment and anatomy. This obviously begs

the question; is the observable behavior such as, the vertical movements demonstrated by brine shrimp

(marine plankton experiment) or peristaltic movements showed by earthworms (animal behavioral lab

experiment) a form of deliberate taxis or random kinesis? However, to properly be able to address those

questions, it's far more important to examine the intricate factors involving the complex interactions

between the effects of environmental stimuli,(dry air for the earthworm and directional light for the brine

shrimp) towards the affected anatomical structure and physiological function of a specific organ system of

those particular animal species. Therefore, I hypothesize, that an !

earthworm will exert random kinetic behavior through peristaltic movement in an ...
