Line 8: Fixed action pattern is used in biology to classify ethology Another good example of Fixed Action Pattern is within the red-bellied stickleback (fish). They are naturally angry at a specific stimulus, which is other red-bellied sticklebacks. Anything red creates this FAP. The proximate response to this is that due to the stimuli, a nerve sends a signal to attack that red item. The ulitmate response is that the stickleback needs the area in which it is living for either habitat, food, mating with other sticklebacks, or other purposes. ==See also== * [[Digger wasp]]
