Behavorial altruism is any action that benefits others. It does not concern intentions as psychological altruism does. When pertaining to animal behavior, biological altruism (a form a behavorial altruism) refers to any behavior that reduces the fitness of the organism performing it and increases the fitness of another organism. An example of this would be eusocial organisms such as bees. Bees sacrifice their own lives in order to protect the lives of their kin. They don't do this out of the "goodness of their hearts" (bees certainly aren't that noble of organisms) - it is in their genetic code. Why would an organism go against natural selection and kill themselves for the good of another? In "The Selfish Gene" Richard Dawkins theorizes that it is the genes, not the individual that is trying to stay alive. Bees exhibit haplodiploidy, which means that the genetic relationship between kin are strikingly similar. (more so than diploid organisms) Thus, a gene will tell the bee to kill itself in order to preserve its copies in other related organisms. Altruism is rooted in selfishness.
The unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.
"Good Samaritanism" or "volunteerism" fit the definition.
Behavioral Isolation is isolation caused by differences in courtship or mating behaviors.
Something an organism does to survive.
An overt indication of understanding.
Yes, altruism can evolve through natural selection when it provides benefits to the survival and reproduction of individuals who share the same genes. This can occur through kin selection, reciprocal altruism, or group selection, where behaviors that benefit others increase the inclusive fitness of individuals over time.

Behavioral characteristics are particular things on an animal example : claws on a crab , whiskers on a cat , claws on a bear
Altruism develops because human beings have an innate sense of compassion. That leads to acts of altruism that seem to sometimes defy logic.
The adjective form of altruism is "altruistic." It describes someone who shows unselfish concern for the well-being of others.
