Zusammenfassung

Verhalten und Physiologie eines Organismus sind eng aufeinander abgestimmt, um ein Tier in einem regulierten Gleichgewichtszustand zu halten. Ein geregelter Energie- und Wasserhaushalt oder die Thermoregulation stellen wichtige Aspekte des Wohlergehens und der Überlebensfähigkeit dar, die einen qualitativ großen Anteil des Verhaltens eines Tieres in Anspruch nehmen können. Allerdings sind diese Verhaltensweisen selten spektakulär und werden daher bei der Diskussion der physiologischen Grundlagen in den entsprechenden Arbeiten oder Lehrbüchern oft vernachlässigt. Ähnliches gilt für Verhaltensaspekte der Stressverminderung oder Pathogenabwehr. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auf der Ebene des Organismus auch die Budgetierung von Ruhe- und Aktivitätsphasen sowie die strategische Einteilung von Zeit und Energie für bestimmte Aktivitäten relevant. Welche Rolle das Verhalten in diesen Kontexten spielt, ist in diesem Kapitel dargestellt.
