- What would you conclude after comparing the survivorship of the ground squirrel and the finch? Multiple Choice Both have very large numbers of offspring. Both die primarily of old age. Both suffer high predation throughout the lifespan. They represent different survivorship types.arrow_forwardIs the species a generalist or a specialist and how does this niche impact the species of the wild. The giant panda, native to China, and the raccoon, native to North America, share a common ancestor. However, their current status in the wild is anything but common. Raccoons are thriving. Opportunists by nature, raccoons forage on a variety of plants and animals in their ecosystem. Highly inquisitive and intelligent, raccoons use their opposable thumbs to crack open shells, investigate dens, and sift through rocky streams in search of crayfish. Although their habitats are shrinking, raccoons have adapted well to human encroachment and will actively seek food and shelter among the human communityarrow_forward23. INTERACTION 1: Burdocks are a group of weeds and dispersal of their seeds is critical to their life cycle. Their seeds have spines with hooks that allow them to be picked up by the fur of animals passing by. The spines do not hurt the animals they attach to. INTERACTION 2: Wax moths live in the nests of honeybees. Their larvae eat the stored honey of the bees, as well as the larvae of workers and reproductive honeybees. The adults mate and disperse to lay eggs in new nests. INTERACTION 3: Spider crabs live in shallow areas of the ocean floor, and greenish-brown algae lives on the crabs' backs, making the crabs blend in with their environment, and unnoticeable to predators. The algae gets a good place to live, and the crab gets camouflage. Which of the above interactions is antagonistic? a. Interaction 1 b Interactions 2 & 3 c Interaction 2 d Interaction 3 e Interactions 1 & 2arrow_forward
- In one year, there were 18 males and 34 females. Over the following year, each female gave birth, of which 28 survived. Nine elephants died due to predators. A construction project cleared 50 acres of nearby forested land, causing 5 males and 19 females to immigrate into the experimental area. Competition for females increased, resulting in the emigration of 10 males to a new territory in search of mates.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would not be a reason animals typically exhibit dishonest behavior? To purposefully decrease another animal's fitness To avoid conflict To stop extrapair copulation To increase their own fitnessarrow_forwardWhat type of reproductive strategy is used by frogs that lay hundreds or thousands of eggs at a time? K-strategy R-strategy J-strategy X-strategyarrow_forward
- Sit and wait vs active foraging cost and benefit Write at least 3 cost and benefit for at leastarrow_forwardMockingbirds typically lay 3 eggs. If the mockingbird produces more than three eggs their young are often malnourished because they have so many to feed. If less than 3 eggs are produced they may not have any viable offspring. This is an example ofarrow_forwardReview the chart, which shows the population sizes of three African animals in 1990 and in 2000. Population Estimates of Animals in Africa in 1990 and in 2000 1990 2000 100,000 50,000 15,000 Lions Cheetahs Zebras 47,000 7,500 2,500 Which explanation is best supported by the numbers in the chart? Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and lions outcompete cheetahs. The dwindling zebra population has led to the decline of the predator lion and cheetah populations. Overhunting of lion and cheetah populations has led to a decline in the food source population. O Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and cheetahs outcompete lions.arrow_forward
- The example of the Heath Hen provides which of the following important lesson for managing small populations - Genetic drift is more powerful in small populations and can lead a species to extinction - Understanding the factors that make a population small are more important than the factors that ultimately drive it to extinction - Intensive management is successful for bringing back species from the brink of extinction - Allee effects can make managing a small population very difficultarrow_forwardWhat is the key characteristic of a population exhibiting a type Il survivorship curve? large numbers of small offspring all individuals of all ages have an equal chance of dying younger individuals have a greater chance of survival younger individuals are more likely to die than other individualsarrow_forwardFrogs are considered an indicator species because they are so sensitive to environmental conditions and are often affected before other species when there is a problem.
