A fixed action pattern is a sequence of unlearned acts that is essentially unchangeable and usually carried to completion.
A sign stimulus is the trigger or external cue that causes the FAP
For example, with the red bellied male stickleback fish attack other males because they see the other red belly (or anything red for that matter). The red would be the sign stimulus, and the attack because of the red would be the fixed action pattern.

∙ 14y agoFixed action patterns are usually more complex than other unlearned behaviours, and are specific to all members of a species (or one gender of a species), unlike a reflex action which is seen across numerous species. An example of a fixed action pattern is birds all migrating to the same place at the same time, or salmon swimming upstream to the place of their birth at a specific time.

Definition of behavioral adaptations?
Adaptive behavior is a type of behavior that is used to adapt to another type of behavior or situation. This is often characterized by a kind of behavior that allows an individual to substitute an unconstructive or disruptive behavior to something more constructive. These behaviors are most often social or personal behaviors. For example a constant repetitive action could be re-focused on something that creates or builds something. In other words the behavior can be adapted to something else.
