- 3c: How could the total road kills go down, as the nests are going up? (Nests are something scientists use to estimate the size of adult swallows surviving long enough to reproduce.) 3d: What about the environment contributes to a change in the average wing length in the cliff swallow population over generations? 3e: What is the role of natural selection in explaining the change in average wing length in the population over generations?arrow_forwardYou are surveying of the turtle species identifies several breeding populations in different habitats across the island. After a very warm summer of 2020, you observe that the hatchlings from low-elevation nests are mostly males, whereas hatchlings from higher elevations have an equal female-to-male sex ratio. As a bit more background, temperature influences the sex ratio in some turtle species, a phenomenon called temperature-sex determination (TSD). With this knowledge, you hypothesize this new turtle species exhibits TSD, and that eggs incubated at low elevations during the warm year experienced a high enough embryonic temperature to skew the sex ratio. To test this, you collect 20 newly laid eggs in early 2021 & take them back to the lab to conduct an experiment to test your hypothesis that this species exhibits TSD. Assume you know the average nest temperature in the wild, and you have access to multiple incubators Design an experiment to test the hypothesis that this turtle…arrow_forward| bartleby Male red-winged blackbirds have bright red patches on their shoulders (epaulets). C Home | Chegg.com Females prefer to mate with males with the largest epaulets. Researchers captured all of the male birds in a single population. They measured how many parasites each male had (#parasites/body mass, higher numbers indicate a higher parasite load) and the size of the male's epaulets (cm). They produced the following graph (the line shows the relationship between parasites and epaulet width): 0.5- 0.4- 0.3- 0.2 0.1 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 Epaulet Width (cm) Explain what these data reveal about the correlation between epaulet size and parasite load and what might explain the fact that females prefer to mate with males displaying large epauletsa Parasite Load (#parasites/body mass)arrow_forward

There are more births in each consecutive year. The number of snails that survive to maturity increases after 2006 There are less births in each consecutive year. The number of snails born drops after 2006arrow_forwardWhich of the following models, that attempt to explain human origins and dispersal, no longer is supported due to current information supplied by genetic evidence? In other words, which model has been thrown out while the other two are still being debated? Group of answer choices multiregional model partial replacement model complete replacement modelarrow_forwardHoverflies use Batesian mimics (they exhibit a characteristics of a dangerous species although they are harmless species to avoid predators) of a group of stinging, yellow & black-striped bees and wasps, which are Mullerian mimics (they exhibit similar characteristics of similar species to themselves to avoid predators) of each other. Assuming predators learn to avoid yellow and black insects only through experience, draw the expected relationship between the ratio of Batesian mimics to Mullerian mimics in the community (x-axis) and the probably that mimicry will successfully protect against predation (y-axis).arrow_forward
- What scientific evidence is there for the exact cause(s) of the decrease in the population of sea turtles?arrow_forwardAssume that for a given population of moose, the per-capita birth rate remains constant with population size. However, as the moose population size increases there is a linear increase in the probability of starvation and subsequent mortality due to intraspecific competition. a) On a single graph, draw the relationship between moose density and the per capita birth and death rates for this population. b) Assume that the population does not experience competition from other species, nor predation. Write out the equation that would best be used to describe the change in population growth from one time interval to another.arrow_forwardWhat 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_forward
