Summary Introduction
To determine: The role of diversifying selection in the diversity of honeycreepers on the Hawaiian Islands.
Introduction: The geographical locations that are highly isolated from other parts of the world allow a high rate of evolution of a small group of organisms into a vast number of different species. This is an example of allopatric

According to the video, what was the effect of artificially-modified ant density in acacias on the elephant feeding behavior? (Choose one.)
a. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, so did the number of branches fed on by elephants.
b. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, the number of branches fed on by elephants decreased.
c. As the density of ants per A. depranolobium increased, the number of trees fed on by elephants decreased.
d. Elephants fed more frequently on Acacia depranolobium trees with their ants removed than on A. depranolobium trees with ants.

- You want to distinguish between two hypotheses to explain the patterns you see: 1) Males not feeding the young is an adaptation to dimorphism 2) If males don't feed the young in a species, it will allow them to become brightly colored To begin to address this question, map the characters changes in dimorphism and males feeding the young onto each of the trees on the previous page.

- Recall how Anolis carolinensis species on several islands off the Florida coast adapted to the arrival if invasive A. sagrei by growing bigger toepads, for easier climbing higher up in trees. Suppose an allele increasing topead size was intiially present at a frequency of 0.05. How much would it have to increase fitness in order to reach a frequency of at least 0.9 within 10 generations?arrow_forwardIt was later discovered in Cliff Tabin’s lab that a gene called Bmp4 involved in cell-cell signaling during beak development is partly responsible for beak depth in ground finches (Abzhanov et al., 2004). Alleles that increase Bmp4 expression increase the depth of the beaks, and were most likely selected for during the drought in 1977 (Abzhanov et al., 2004). In 2001, ground finches were collected from Daphne major and genotypes were analyzed at this particular locus. Phenotype Genotype Number of Individuals Observed Genotype Frequency Low Bmp4 expression AA 491 ? Low Bmp4 expression Aa 336 ? High Bmp4 expression aa 552 ? In 2009, allele frequencies were measured again on Daphne major for this particular gene. Phenotype Genotype Number of Individuals Observed Genotype Frequency Low Bmp4 expression AA 706 ?
