Classification Using Courtship Behaviour

• What is the purpose of classification using courtship behavior?

  To help classify species
• How do similar species behave in relation to courtship?

  They exhibit similar behaviors
• What does it mean that behavior can also be used to help classify species?

  Behavior aids in identifying species
• How can courtship behavior be particularly useful?

  When classifying species
• What is courtship behavior?

  Behavior carried out by organisms to attract mates
• How does visual display attract mates?

  By showcasing physical traits
• What is a characteristic of complex courtship behaviors?

  They often involve multiple actions
• How do courtship behaviors vary between species?

  They can be unique to each species
