- A scientist for one of the Water Management Districts near Victoria conducts a study of the effects of industrial wastewater on marine clams (animals that are sessile as adults) by comparing the density and reproductive condition of clams collected within 100 m of a discharge pipe with those collected 10 km away. He found very low densities of clams near the pipe and those that were there had very small gonads. You have been hired by the company discharging wastewater via this pipe to explain why these data should not be used to shut you down. What scientific arguments are you going to make to the review board? Hint: don’t talk about study design issues….tell me about what other ecological factors might be at play here.arrow_forwardAll of the following scenarios are examples of barriers that distinguish separate species. Which is not a post-zygotic barrier? * Two species of ladybugs live in the same habitat. Although they mate at the same time of year, their genitals are physically incompatible. Two species of fish inhabit the same stream. They are capable of mating and producing healthy offspring. The offspring, however, are infertile. Two species of opossums inhabit the same forest. Although they are capable of mating, no offspring ever survive development. Two species of mice coexist in a forest habitat. They are capable of mating and producing offspring. The offspring, however, are frail and die young.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are reasons why parental investment can differ between the sexes? a. Production of different sex cells b.

- Sexual reproduction in unpredictable environments provide immediate benefits to individuals including the following except -- A. There are more opportunites for offspring to specialize in different niches in an environment. B. The chance that the offspring of sexual ndividuals will be well-matched to their environment increases. C. Bet-hedging strategies are involved for increasing offspring fitness. D. Reduction of competition for resources among genetically related offspring.arrow_forwardThe survival and reproduction of young Lazuli buntings (birds) depends on the brightness of their feathers, which range from dull brown to bright blue. Juvenile birds with dull brown feathers are not attacked by adult birds and are able to obtain high quality territories and reproduce more. Juvenile birds with bright blue feathers are more attractive to mates and reproduce more when they become adults. However, birds with intermediate plumage are often attacked by adults and usually fail to reproduce. This is an example of what type of selection?

Which one of the following scenarios is LEAST likely to result in a polygynous mating system? Male stalk-eyed flies form leks where receptive females come visit Male Neotropical giant damselfly defend water-filled tree holes, which are the oviposition sites for females. Suitable tree holes for oviposition are rare and females must mate with the resident male in exchange for access to the oviposition sites. Male Bengal tigers defend large territories that contain food sources. Female Bengal tigers visit male territories to mate. The density of the Bengal tiger is extremely low that male tigers rarely encounter more than one female in their lifetime. In the bumblebee-wolf Philanthus bicinctus, females are unreceptive until they finish constructing the long underground burrow as nest sites. Males search for locations containing a number of newly constructed burrows and attempt to control these sites against the intruders. Your cousin Peter…arrow_forward
- A researcher discovered a species of moth that lays its eggs on oak trees. Eggs are laid at two distinct times of the year: early in spring when the oak trees are flowering and in midsummer when flowering is past. Caterpillars from eggs that hatch in spring feed on oak flowers and look like oak flowers. But caterpillars that hatch in summer feed on oak leaves and look like oak twigs. How does the same population of moths produce such different-looking caterpillars on the same trees? To answer this question, the biologist caught many female moths from the same population and collected their eggs. He put at least one egg from each female into eight identical cups. The eggs hatched, and at least two larvae from each female were maintained in one of the four temperature and light Temperature Day Length Springlike Springlike conditions listed below.
