Question

Wayne Potts proposed that one behavior exhibited by these animals is mediated by rapidly-propagating “maneuver waves.” Craig Reynolds added the suffix “oids” to the name of these animals in a program that simulates their (15[1])behavior using principles like (-5[1])“collision avoidance” (15[1])and “velocity matching.” The response of one species of these animals to painted knitting needles led Niko Tinbergen (-5[1])to propose (-5[1])the (-5[1])term (15[1]-5[2])“supernormal stimulus.” (-5[1])Two of these animals (*) compete for a shared resource and can choose to always or never fight in a well-studied (10[1]-5[1])evolutionary (10[2])game. (10[3])Changes in day length are thought (10[1])to be the primary stimulus for these animals to undergo large-scale latitudinal migrations. (10[1]-5[1])Konrad (10[1])Lorenz studied imprinting in, (10[1])for 10 points, what class (10[1])of animals, whose behaviors include flocking? (10[2])■END■ (10[8])

ANSWER: birds [or avians or Aves; accept more specific types of birds like gulls or hawks or doves or geese; reject “chickens”]
