Answer:An ethogram is an entire lexicon of the behavior of a species. Ethograms are important in studying animal behavior because, they provide a foundation for the observation of behavior. An ethogram is constructed by observing and recording all of the activities that an animals performs. In order to correctly record these behaviors, methods of sampling the behaviors must be used. There are various sampling methods used in performing observational studies of behavior. Previously you have observed a group of animals without the knowledge of any of these methods. In today's lab you will learn about several types of behavioral sampling methods, and then use them in observing the same group of animals you observed last week.

There are two types of behavior patterns that are often seen in animals that are at opposite ends of a continuum of behavior. The first type of pattern is called an event.

Events are behavior patterns of relatively short duration, such as discrete body movements or vocalizations, which can be approximated as points in time. The salient feature of events is their frequency of occurrence. For example, the number of times a dog barks in 1 minute would be a measure of the frequency of a behavioral event (Martin and Bateson 1995).

The second type of behavioral pattern is called a state.

States are behavior patterns of relatively long duration, such as prolonged activities, body postures or proximity measures. The salient feature of states is their duration (mean or total duration, or the proportion of time spent performing the activity). For example, the total time a dog spends asleep over a 24-h period would be a measure of the total duration of a state (Martin and Bateson 1995).
