behavior, and the analysis of exactly how that behavior enables the animal to adapt and survive in a specific environment It is a cross disciplinary study in that it requires both the study of the behaviors of modern animals as well as evolutionary histories of various animal species A key presupposition in behavioral ecology is that all animal behaviors are both instinctive and reactionary They are instinctive because they are inborn behaviors to which the animal is naturally inclined They are reactionary because they occur in response to some external stimulus Behavioral ecology also makes a distinction between proximal and ultimate causes for animal behavior Proximal causes are the immediate, readily identifiable reasons for why an animal exhibits a certain behavior at a specific time Ultimate causes are the reasons why that animal has evolved to display that behavior For example, if a cat arches its back and hisses angrily, the cause may be that it has seen a dog The ultimate cause would be the explanation of why cats have developed this particular reaction to when dogs are near The focus of behavioral ecology is to identify these ultimate causes Establishing the ultimate causes of animal behavior is a difficult task First, a behavioral ecologist must pose a hypothesis for a particular animal behaviour To this they work from the theory of optimization This theory holds that a species will naturally select the most effective behaviors for its given environment The logic is that animals within a species that employ less optimal behaviors have less chance of surviving and reproducing, and are therefore selected out of the species over time The theory grows more complex, however, because animals are often subjected to contradictory environmental pressures, so that optimization Page 11 of 19 requires finding a happy medium that balances several factors For example, lizards are less active when their body temperatures are low, making it harder for them to scavenge for food This would seem to indicate that the optimal behavior for a lizard would be to spend long periods in the sun to raise its body temperature as much as possible But lizards are subjected to more environmental pressures than just the need to maintain their body temperature For one thing, the more time a lizard spends sitting in the sun, the less time it has to look for food Furthermore, a lizard is in greater danger of predation when sitting exposed on a rock Therefore, optimization actually requires of careful balance of these pressures A lizard must spend enough time warming itself to scavenge effectively but not long enough to lose all its scavenging time or to overexpose itself to predators Once a behavioral ecologist has arrived at a hypothesis for animal behaviour based on optimization, that hypothesis must be tested This again is a complex process Ideally, the best way to test a hypothesis for animal behaviour is to examine different groups of animals within the same or very similar species that are subjected to different environmental pressures For example, Japanese honeybees will immediately kill any Japanese hornet (a much larger predator of the honey bee) that comes near their nest It was hypothesized that this behaviour was an attempt to kill the scout hornet before it could return to its own nest and reveal the location of the honeybee nest When Japanese hornets were accidentally introduced into the US, scientists got a chance to test this theory When confronted with a scout hornet, the American honeybees, who have evolved in the absence of Japanese hornets, took no action, resulting in the destruction of their hive when the hornets attacked in force This seemed to support the conclusion that the behaviour of the Japanese honeybees evolved as a specific response to the environmental pressure posed by Japanese hornets According to paragraph 1, what basic assumption is made by behavioral ecology? A Behavioral ecology assumes that most animals have no logical reasons for their behaviors B Behavioral ecology assumes that ultimate causes for animal behavior are always more complex than proximal causes Page 12 of 19 C Behavioral ecology assumes that every animal behavior is an unconscious response to some event D Behavioral ecology assumes that instinct is more important than reaction when explaining animal behavior The word “inclined” in the passage is closest in meaning to A knowledgeable B predisposed C natural D adjusted C Behaviors D Animals The word “They” in the passage refers to A Presuppositions B Instincts It can be inferred from the passage that animal behaviors A function to increase the animal's chances of survival B eventually eliminate external pressure on the animal C rarely conform to the theory of optimization D only evolve after millions of years The author mentions a “cat” in paragraph in order to A discuss how behavioral ecology has affected the evolution of cats B prove that animal behaviors are both instinctive and reactionary C illustrate how behavioral ecology may be applied in everyday life D provide examples of proximal and ultimate causes of animal behaviors Based on the information in the passage, the term “optimization” can best be explained as A the consideration of various environmental pressures B the selection of the best possible response to environmental pressures C the process of determining the ultimate causes for animal behavior D attempts by an animal to increase its chances of survival and reproduction According to paragraph 2, what role does the theory of optimization play in behavioral ecology? A It is used to develop theories on the ultimate causes for animal behaviors B It is used to add complexity and detail to the concept of ultimate causes C It is used to explain why some animals are selected out of a species D It is used to balance contradictory environmental pressures Page 13 of 19 The passage mentions all of the following as aspects of behavioral ecology EXCEPT A The study how animal behaviors aid in survivor B The study of predator and prey relationships C The testing of hypotheses with real world observations D The attempt to trace the evolution of animal behaviors What can be inferred about Janpanese honeybees? A They are stronger than American honey bees B Their behavior is better understood than that of American honeybees C They are more likely to sting than American honeybees D They are biological similar to American honeybees 10 According to paragraph 3, the failure of American honeybees to defend their hives proved to scientists that A Jananese hornets have evolutionary superiority over other species of bees B American honeybees would soon be selected out of the species C The behavior of Japanese honeybees evolved only as a response to Japanese hornets D Introducing predator species into new environments was a good way to test theories Your answers: 10 Part Read the following text and then choose from the list A-G the best phrase given below it to fill each of the spaces Each correct phrase may only be used once Some of the suggested answers not fit at all (15 pts) Why companies should welcome disorder A Organisation is big business Whether it is of our lives – all those inboxes and calendars – or how companies are structured, a multi-billion-dollar industry helps to meet this need Page 14 of 19 We have more strategies for time management, project management and self-organisation than at any other time in human history We are told that we ought to organize our company, our home life, our week, our day and seven our sleep, all as a means to becoming more productive Every week, countless seminars and workshops take place around the world to tell a paying public that they ought to structure their lives in order to achieve this This rhetoric has also crept into the thinking of business leaders and entrepreneurs, much to the delight of self-proclaimed perfectionists with the need to get everything right The number of business schools and graduates has massively increased over the past 50 years, essentially teaching people how to organise well B Ironically, however, the number of business that fail has also steadily increased Work-related stress has increased A large proportion of workers from all demographics claim to be dissatisfied with the way their work is structured and the way they are managed This begs the question: what has gone wrong? Why is it that on paper the drive for organisation seems a sure shot for increasing productivity, but in reality, falls well short of what is expected? C This has been a problem for a while now Frederick Taylor was one of the forefathers of scientific management Writing in the first half of the 20th century, he designed a number of principles to improve the efficiency of the work process, which have since become widespread in modern companies So the approach has been around for a while D New research suggests that this obsession with efficiency is misguided The problem is not necessarily the management theories or strategies we use to organise our work; it’s the basic assumptions we hold in approaching how we work Here it’s the assumption that order is a necessary condition for productivity This assumption has also fostered the idea that disorder must be detrimental to organizational productivity The result is that businesses and people spend time and money organising themselves for the sake of organising, rather than actually looking at the end goal and usefulness of such an effort E Page 15 of 19 What’s more, recent studies show that order actually has diminishing returns Order does increase productivity to a certain extent, but eventually the usefulness of the process of organisation, and the benefit it yields, reduce until the point where any further increase in order reduces productivity Some argue that in a business, if the cost of formally structuring something outweighs the benefit of doing it, then that thing ought not to be formally structured Instead, the resources involved can be better used elsewhere F In fact, research shows that, when innovating, the best approach is to create an environment devoid of structure and hierarchy and enable everyone involved to engage as one organic group These environments can lead to new solutions that, under conventionally structured environments (filled with bottlenecks in terms of information flow, power structures, rules, and routines) would never be reached G In recent times companies have slowly started to embrace this disorganisation Many of them embrace it in terms of perception (embracing the idea of disorder, as opposed to fearing it) and in terms of process (putting mechanisms in place to reduce structure) For example, Oticon, a large Danish manufacturer of hearing aids, used what it called a ‘spaghetti’ structure in order to reduce the organisation’s rigid hierarchies This involved scrapping formal job titles and giving staff huge amounts of ownership over their own time and projects This approach proved to be highly successful initially, with clear improvements in worker productivity in all facets of the business In similar fashion, the former chairman of General Electric embraced disorganisation, putting forward the idea of the ‘boundaryless’ organisation Again, it involves breaking down the barriers between different parts of a company and encouraging virtual collaboration and flexible working Google and a number of other tech companies have embraced (at least in part) these kinds of flexible structures, facilitated by technology and strong company values which glue people together Page 16 of 19 Questions 1-7 Reading Passage has seven sections, A-G Choose the correct heading for each section from the list of headings below Write the correct number, i-ix, in boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet List of Headings i Complaints about the impact of a certain approach ii Fundamental beliefs that are in fact incorrect iii Early recommendations concerning business activities iv Organisations that put a new approach into practice v Companies that have suffered from changing their approach vi What people are increasingly expected to vii How to achieve outcomes that are currently impossible viii Neither approach guarantees continuous improvement ix Evidence that a certain approach can have more disadvantages that advantages Section A _ Section B _ Section C _ Section D _ Section E _ Section F _ Section G _ Questions 8-10 Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage?
