Luontokäyttäytymisen
Luontokäyttäytyminen, often translated as "natural behavior" or "ethology," is a scientific field dedicated to the study of animal behavior in their natural environments. It explores the causes, functions, and evolutionary development of behaviors observed in animals. Researchers in this field observe animals in their natural habitats to understand how they interact with their surroundings, other individuals of the same species, and members of different species.
Key areas of study within luontokäyttäytyminen include foraging, mating rituals, predator avoidance, social interactions, communication methods,
Modern luontokäyttäytyminen often employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating concepts from genetics, neuroscience, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
