Accepted Answer

Territorial behavior involves marking and defending a specific home range against other animals. Imprinting refers to a process of early learning in which an animal forms an attachment to a particular object or organism. Habituation is a form of learning in which an animal becomes less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time. Symbiotic behavior refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different species. Taxis behavior involves an animal moving towards or away from a specific stimulus.
