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. Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS In Batesianmimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimickingan unpalatable one. Imagine that individuals of a palatable,brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands.The first island has no predators of that species; the second haspredators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and thethird has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatablespecies. In a short essay (100–150 words), predict what mighthappen to the coloration of the palatable species on each islandthrough time if coloration is a genetically controlled trait.Explain your predictions
Which of the following distribution patterns is often influenced by territoriality's ? - random - clumped - none of these distribution patterns is influenced by territoriality
Summarize; From my observation post, well camouflaged under some boxwood bushes, I delight in the contemplation of dinco young foxes that play at the door of their refuge. They have come out half an hour ago, with all caution, when the sun was peeking over the peaks. Little by little they have gained confidence; lying in the most comical postures they have been nibbling, only to end up chasing each other openly over the fresh grass that grows before the black hole of the cave. Suddenly the five foxes at the same time rush towards their fort. Almost at the same moment I smell a growing buzzing behind my head, like that produced by a flock of pigeons flying low through an oak grove. First I see a huge shadow, exactly in front of the peephole of my observatory. A brown mass is mistaken for it. It is the royal eagle. With the wings semi-closed, forming an angle with the body, with the claws open and advanced, the bird of Jupiter is materially nailed against the wall of the fox…
Giraffes are herbivores found in Africa. They prefer to eat twigs and leaves from acacia trees. This type of producer–consumer relationship can be described as a predator–prey relationship or parasitism. Explain an instance the giraffe–acacia tree relationship would be parasitic and not predatior-prey.
In the Introduction, the authors set the stage for their experiment. What ecological issues were facing Yellowstone National Park when wolves were no longer there, and how were the researchers going to test the questions they wanted to ask? In 4 – 6 sentences, summarize the Methods section of this paper. One of the questions the researchers asked when they began their experiment was “With wolves now back on the Yellowstone landscape for 15 years, how has the reintroduction of wolves affected the recruitment of the woody browse species?” Use data from the Ripple and Beschta paper to support your answer. In any scientific paper, the Discussion is often the most hard-hitting, and where researchers elaborate and explain their results in the context of their experiment and the real world. Explain why when researchers tried culling some of the elk herd it did not have trophic effects, while reintroducing wolves did have trophic effects. Describe the multiple impacts of wolf…
Mutualism often involves co-evolution of mutualists. Describe taking the example of animal plant (wasp-fig) relationship.
An unpalatable species demonstrates its threat to potential predators by displaying (a) character displacement (b) limiting resources (c) cryptic coloration (d) aposematic coloration (e) competitive exclusion
EVOLUTION LINK Biologists have wondered how introduced species that would probably have limited genetic variation (due to the founder effect) survive and adapt so successfully that they become invasive. Part of the answer may be that invasive species are the result of multiple introductions instead of a single one. Explain how multiple introductions from a species native area to an introduced area could increase that species invasion success.
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the example of species interactions for ants, plants and aphids Question 2 options: The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are negatively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants. The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are not affected by the ants The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants. The burdock plant is not affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are positively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants.
Several hundred male bees will sometimes gather in the evening to sleep on the dried stems of a shrub. A predatory assassin bug sometimes visits the bees and kills some as they are settling down. Present three hypotheses on the possible adaptive, antipredator value of these sleeping aggregations. For each hypothesis, present a piece of evidence that would enable you to reject the hypothesis.
Part A) Ecology is defined as the interaction of organisms and their environment. An example(s) of environmental conditions is/are: temperature nutrients sunlight all of these. Part B)DR TJ freaks out because she doesn’t hear any cicadas singing in January. If she understood the biology of these animals she would know that was because adult cicadas do not emerge from underground until summer! Dr TJ should have a better understanding of the importance of ___ in studying ecology. timing spatial distributions none of these Part C)If I read 50 papers on phenotypic plasticity in sea stars and they all showed that these animals exhibit behaviors that allow them to persist under temperature stress, this would be an example of ____ in science. detection measurement repeatability
Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Foraging in Mixed Species Flocks sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: the assumption underscores the enhancement of foraging efficiency associated with the establishment of mixed-species flocks, emphasizing the advantages of cooperation and safety in numbers.
