Abstract

Animal behavior is predictable. Their behavioral tendencies are influenced by the relationship of its
anatomy to their environment. By observing various forms of life, and associating the mechanism of their
abilities to perform a behavioral action, evolutionary influence thereafter, can be analyzed and deduced
from that point.

Introduction

The science and study of animal behavior involve an enormous array of complicated factors. For
instance, stereotyped responses are unlearned behavioral reactions to some environmental stimulus
predicated upon an organism relationship to its physical environment and anatomy. This obviously begs
the question; is the observable behavior such as, the vertical movements demonstrated by brine shrimp
(marine plankton experiment) or peristaltic movements showed by earthworms (animal behavioral lab
experiment) a form of deliberate taxis or random kinesis? However, to properly be able to address those
questions, it's far more important to examine the intricate factors involving the complex interactions
between the effects of environmental stimuli,(dry air for the earthworm and directional light for the brine
shrimp) towards the affected anatomical structure and physiological function of a specific organ system of
those particular animal species. Therefore, I hypothesize, that an !
earthworm will exert random kinetic behavior through peristaltic movement in an arid clinical environment
