Innate behavior, or instinct, is important because there is no risk of an incorrect behavior being learned. They are “hard wired” into the system. On the other hand, learned behaviors, although riskier, are flexible, dynamic, and can be altered.

The field of behavioral ecology includes a variety of disciplines, including the study of how organisms find food, how they move about the environment, and how they communicate with each other. This field is also interested in studying the evolution of social behaviors and social systems.
