1. Timing and coordination of behavior are regulated by various mechanisms and are important in natural selection.
a. Individuals can act on information and communicate it to others.
Throughout evolution traits organisms inherited traits that were necessary for survival. These traits were developed by the organism voluntarily; they do not need to be taught. As a result, eventually, the next generations are born with this characteristic with the propensity to behave in this way. Survival is a good example. Survival is necessary so ancestors would behave in a certain way that is beneficial to their survival and eventually their kids developed this way, etc.
b. Responses to information and communication of information are vital to natural selection.
The behavior of animals are sometimes triggered by environmental cues, which can result in hibernation. These cues are essential to reproduction, natural selection, and survival. Certain animals hibernate in order to keep warm during the winter. They are unable to escape the cold during the winter so they do what they can in order to survive. Ectothermic animals, for example, cannot contain enough of their body heat to stay warm or to digest their food, so they hibernate in order to survive without eating during the winter. Endothermic animals, on the other hand, hibernate because it conserves energy during times when there is little food or water in the environment available.
