Introduction:
Ethology is the study of animal
behavior. This involves observing an
organisms behaviors, interpreting
what is observed, and research
different organisms. Ethologists study
and observe an organisms reaction to
the environment around them.
Biotic and abiotic factors are limiting
factors that control the maximum size
of a given population. Favorable
conditions are desired by an organism
of its home environment. Because of
this, an animal must search for the
environment to fit its structure and
lifestyle. This is called habitat
selection.
movement behavior of "Pill Bugs"

Materials:
The following materials will be needed to
complete the experiment: 10 pill bugs, 2 animal
behavior petri dishes, 2 pieces of filter paper, 1
camels hair brush.
Design a lab to test some aspect of pill bug movement.
Temperature, light, moisture, sound etc. Be sure to
include a testable question, hypothesis, control,
independent and dependent variables.
Pill bug natural history

An animal can display many different
types of behaviors, two being taxis
and kinesis. Taxis behaviors are
deliberate movements toward or away
from a stimulus. Kinesis is a random
movement that is not oriented toward
or away from a stimulus. Taxis
behaviors are exemplary of the
physiological needs of an organism.
Other behaviors are agonistic
(aggressive or submissive actions
toward another organism) and mating
behaviors.
In today's lab we will examine the
