must DC auypt at sppottmg and Handng prey icIS tlat woUld TathoI Hot OC SCCH and CatCI. II a popuration of prey randomly acquires a mutation that happens to make them blend in more with their environment (i.e. become cryptic), then predators are going to have a harder time finding prey visually. Given how difficult predation is generally, most predators have evolved strategies to minimize their search when hunting. Therefore, prey individuals carrying this new cryptic mutation are more likely to avoid detection as predators focus on and eat relatively more of the individuals that stand out in their habitat. In this way, we can have differential survival and reproduction of prey individuals based on how their heritable phenotype varies in the population- in other words, natural selection can favor cryptic coloration in predator-filled environments. However, natural selection only 'sees' phenotypes, it does not act on organisms' genotypes directly. Therefore, to understand how a trait is…

Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
