Answer:

temporal summation

Explanation:

Temporal summation occurs when stimuli are applied to the same axon in rapid succession. These back to back stimuli cause overlapping EPSPs that sum. Temporal summation requires the buildup of neurotransmitter released by a single presynaptic end bulb two or more times in rapid succession that does not allow the postsynaptic neuron's membrane potential to return to the resting potential. The resultant postsynaptic potentials sum. A typical EPSP lasts about 15 msec. Therefore, temporal summation occurs when the second release of neurotransmitters occurs soon after the first one so that the postsynaptic neuron does not acquire resting potential.

Answer:

Nesting & Foraging behavior

Explanation:

Seabirds are generally tertiary consumers and / or marine predators that, in marine foodwebs, occupy the upper trophic level. They are very well adapted to all marine ecosystems and feed on a variety of prey: from micro-crustaceans to fish and cephalopods.

Generally, seabirds are observed performing a nesting behavior, by laying eggs near the shore, and then are found exhibiting foraging behavior -searching and foraging for prey- in both the coastline and pelagic zone, also known as the open sea.

Seabirds exhibit different foraging behaviors, for example, the <u>surface feeding behavior which involves flying along the surface with their beak  in the water. Gulls, albatrosses and petrels are examples of surface feeders.</u>

<u>On the other hand, plunge diving involves preying on fast marine organisms by diving into the water during their flight. Pelicans are example of seabirds who engage in this behavior.</u>
