After reading this summary of the Effects of Steroid Hormones on Animal Behavior Download Effects of Steroid Hormones on Animal Behavior, write a 1-2 page paper explaining the proximate mechanisms involved in the control of animal behavior by steroid hormones. I would like you to specifically address the following topics:
1. similarities and differences between the mechanisms responsible for rapid (seconds/minutes) and long-term (hours/days) responses to hormones
2. explain how ultimate causes (i.e., natural selection) could lead to the evolution of two different proximate mechanisms to respond to the same hormone
Make sure to incorporate course material, use terms from the course, and demonstrate your understanding of the topics in your answer.
