Which of the following does not support Hoekstra's hypothesis for the evolution of coat color in oldfield mice? Blending into the background reduced predation rate in both beach and mainland habitats. Predation rates of dark clay models in beach habitats were higher relative to white models. Predation rates of 1ight models in mainland habitats were higher relative to dark models. Camouflage increased predation rate in both beach and mainland habitats.

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.
