- Suppose that in maroon-fronted parrots, the number of chicks born each year in a population is compared to the number of predators in the same area. Correlation coefficient = -0.1 Number of predators Describe the type and strength of the relationship between number of chicks and predators. positive, curvilinear, weakly correlated positive, linear, strongly correlated negative, linear, weakly correlated negative, curvilinear, strongly correlated negative, curvilinear, weakly correlated Number of parrot chicksBigger dogs will have more puppies than smaller dogs in a litter. What is the independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and control group?How do the classic experiments of C.F. Huffaker, using mites and oranges in the lab, inform us about how predator and prey populations are able to persist in nature?
- Florida Scrub Jays live in extended family groups in which one pair breeds and all of their relatives help take care of the chicks. At night all the members of a family would perch near the nest. What spatial distribution would this represent? Group of answer choices -clumped -over dispersed -random -complicatedWhat is the selective advantage to winners, as well as to losers, that aggressive encounters within species for social dominance are usu-ally ritualized displays or symbolic fights rather than unrestrained fights to death?What are types of antagonistic interactions within populations? Choose All That Apply male-male competition for mates pair bonding between males and females competition for resources sexual selection
- describe species adaptation and populationsWhat is predator management? What is the linkage between the evolution of prey and predator species and how this relates to the regulation of population size? please answer bothWhat would a random distribution of species in an environment indicate? that females are antagonistically interacting in the population that males are antagonistically interacting in the population resources are uniformly distributed throughout the habitat O resources are randomly distributed throughout the habitat
- What is the role of group behavior on individual and species' chances to survive and reproduce?How does group selection theory explain the altruistic behavior of animals and why is this explanation problematic for advocates of inclusive fitness theory?Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.
