This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Wyatt Ch 2 Sensing and Responding Overview Final, Adaptive Function / Current Utility being that it allows the bat to acquire food, Four Sensory Systems Discussed by Wyatt (Ch. 2) include Nocturnal Bats that use sonar to hunt nocturnal moths, If mating pheramones are detected by male moths: predator evasive behavior is ignored & mating opportunities are pursued thereby increasing reproduction, Adaptive Function / Current Utility being they are able to touch, sense, and capture prey in 120 milliseconds, if the bat is distant from the moth the response varies If the moth is not pursuing a mating opportunity, it turns in the opposite direction, away from the moth's flight path, Nocturnal Moths that perceive ultrasonic clicks emitted by nocturnal hunting bats can avoid them with the Mechansim, 22 tactile papillae (with 1,000 receptors per papillae) sends signals to the somatosensory cortex in the brain, on the hunting bat's proximity to the moth such that if the bat is distant from the moth, Mechansim involving sensory neurons perceive the bat's signal (chirp), Adaptive Function / Current Ultilty being If mating pheramones are detected by male moths: predator evasive behavior is ignored & mating opportunities are pursued, Male Moths that search for Females with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, Mechanism involving 22 tactile papillae (with 1,000 receptors per papillae), they are able to touch, sense, and capture prey in 120 milliseconds allowing for incredibly fast food handling, Star-nosed Mole that searches for food with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, If mating pheromones are not detected by male moths, predator evasive behavior occurs thereby increasing survival, Nocturnal Bats that use sonar to hunt nocturnal moths with the Adaptive Function / Current Utility, signals to the somatosensory cortex in the brain that responds by sending stimuli to muscles to capture prey or move, bats to "track" & capture moths via "return signals" and for which bats increase their chirp pulse rate as theyget closer to the moth (fig. 4; p. 14), sensory neurons perceive the bat's signal (chirp) and transmit sensory neural impulses from dendrites--> axons (= "sensory neural pathway"), if the bat is distant from the moth the response varies if the moth is pursuing a mating opportunity, it ignores the "bat warning"
