1) What was most interesting to you in reviewing these resources?
What I found particularly interesting was the discovery that only 14 percent of songbirds maintain the same partner and reproduce. And the others have babies with more than one partner.
2) What did you learn from these resources about animal behavior?
There needs to be more research in animal behavior, and monogamy is very different in birds than we thought. Dr. Lee explains social monogamy in birds, which is not just because a couple of birds share and care for their babies, mains there are from the same father. There could be many reasons why the female bird has more than one partners, but it is still a question to see in detail why that happens.
3) What do these resources tell you about the types of people that do science?
Not every science does research the same way; some work outside directly with animals and others in labs, but having more exposure to what they study or research helps build a better understanding and direct records of your research. Changing the way you teach science and using music, such as in hip-hop, can be fun and help students better understand the information.
4) What new questions do you have about animal behavior after reviewing these resources?
Some of the questions I now have are, what really makes rodents different in surviving in various locations, and are there safe ways to help reduce their population without affecting other animals? And does their way of thinking change in rodents based on their exposure to different access to food?
