. Simulations 4-6 had lower density of birds (more spacing), how did this influence their ability to escape predation? With more spacing, which number of Junco’s was most advantageous (4, 8, and 16)? Ecologically explain this result.

If this flock of birds occurred in an area with low food availability what flock density would you predict? Explain how food availability impacts flock size/competition.

Was there a relationship between prop. Vigilance (proportion of birds looking up right before Hawk attack) and the rate at which they escaped predation?

Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance (average number of birds looking up each tick) and the rate at which the Junco’s the escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance and the number of birds in the flock?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In this question, we will be analyzing the results of simulations conducted to study the behavior of Junco birds in different flock densities and spacings. The simulations involved different numbers of birds (4, 8, and 16) and different spacings (5 and 15). The data collected includes the proportion of birds looking up (Prop. Vigilance) and the average number of birds looking up each tick (Mean Vigilance) as well as the rate at which the birds escaped predation. The influence of food availability on flock size and competition will also be discussed. Through analysis of these simulations, we hope to understand the relationship between bird behavior and their ability to escape predation and the impact of food availability on flock size.
