Which of the Following Would NOT Be Included in an Ethogram

Question

Which of the following would NOT be included in an ethogram?
A) The number of times the animal ate fruit
B) The level of estrogen throughout the day
C) The levels of aggressive behavior displayed
D) The length of time the animal spent grooming itself
E) The rate of calling behavior

Accepted Answer

An ethogram is a catalog or table of all the different kinds of behavior or activity observed in an animal. It typically includes descriptions of specific behaviors such as eating habits, grooming, aggression, and communication methods. It does not include physiological measures like hormone levels, which are not behaviors but rather internal biological states. Therefore, the level of estrogen throughout the day would not be included in an ethogram.
