n which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept?
When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed
When working with fossils from extinct organisms
When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study
When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive data
Which of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships?
A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant.
B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird.
C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators.
D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.
Hoverflies 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).

- Consider this example. Shorebirds on the Eastern coast of North America feed on the mollusks and tiny crabs along the shore. Birds with tougher beaks are better adapted to crack open the shells of the mollusks, and birds with sharper beaks are better adapted to pierce the shells of crabs. Over time, the shorebirds become two separate species that no longer breed with one another. What type of speciation has occurred? A. Sympatric speciation B. Adaptive speciation C. Microevolution speciation D. Allopatric speciationarrow_forwardYou are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?arrow_forwardThe following experiment is used for the following question. 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 conditions listed below. Temperature Springlike Springlike Summerlike Summerlike Day Length Springlike Summerlike springlike summerlike In each of the…arrow_forward
- A population of chipmunks live in an area of plentiful nuts and seeds on the ground. There are also fruit trees above, which provide a better source of nutrition for these chipmunks. Part A: In a scenario where the nuts and seeds become scarce, what adaptation or adaptations might develop in the group over time to help them survive in this same area? Part B: what is the name of the process that has occurred, and how would it likely occur in this population?arrow_forwardUse each of the following species concepts to write a claim about whether the dark and light fur mice are, in fact, different species. Your claim should demonstrate your understanding of that particular species concept. Mice with light coat colors are found in populations scattered across the southeastern US. Researchers believe the light coat color emerged in a single population. How would a biologist explain the evolution of the light coat color in populations across the southeastern US? Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardDarwin’s finches have different beaks in terms of size and shape to be able to eat different food sources like insects, nectar, and seeds. Cactus finches have longer, more pointed beaks to probe cactus flowers compared to their relatives, the ground finches. If a plant disease killed a large portion of the cacti on the Galapagos islands, what would the future populations of finches look like in terms of beak size and shape? Use your knowledge of natural selection to determine which option is most likely. Ground finches would survive and pass on their shorter and wider beaks, so there would be a higher proportion of finches in future generations that have short and wide beaks. Ground finches would survive and pass on their beaks, but they would mate with the remaining cactus finches, creating a new hybrid that is somewhere between short versus long and narrow versus wide. Cactus finches would compete for food with ground finches and exhibit resource partitioning, so the beaks…arrow_forward
- I need help identifying which assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is most affected, then indicating whether what is being described will act to establish or violate equilibrium, and lastly, whether the statement will increase or decrease that population’s genetic variation. Corals synchronize spawning to occur on a single night during a particular tidal event, such as a spring tide. On that night individuals release sperm and eggs into the water, which then form zygotes. Larvae are carried off by currents and settle elsewhere. What assumption is this breeding style affecting and what will it do to VG of that coral species?arrow_forwardYou've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%arrow_forwardResearchers discover two populations of monkey flower (Erythranthe) in Yellowstone National Park. One population is found near geysers and thrives near the hot water. The other population is found in the dry slopes of the mountains nearby. Both populations appear physically similar. Based solely on their observations, the researchers make an initial hypothesis that the two populations of Erythranthe are actually two separate species.

- Which of the following species would have the greatest chance of going extinct? a species with a slow reproduction rate and very little genetic variation living in a changing environment a species with a fast reproduction rate and lots of genetic variation living in a changing environment a species with a slow reproduction rate and very little genetic variation living in a stable environment a species with a fast reproduction rate and lots of genetic variation living in a stable environmentarrow_forwardOne of Darwin’s finches, the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis), is found on the small island of Daphne Major. These finches are seedeating birds. A major drought occurred on the island in 1977. Following the drought, the average beak size of medium ground finches had increased about 3%–4%. Why might a drought lead to an evolutionary change in beak size? Propose a hypothesis and explain how you could go about testing it.arrow_forwardWe considered the sympatric evolution of reproductive isolating mechanisms in host races of Rhagoletis pomonella, the apple maggot fly. The wasp Diachasma alloeum parasitizes apple maggot flies, laying its eggs on the larvae of the flies. Immature wasps hatch from the eggs and feed on the fly larvae. Research by Andrew Forbes and his colleagues (Forbes et al. 2009. Science 323:776–779) demonstrated that wasps that parasitize the apple race of R. pomonella are genetically differentiated from those that parasitize the hawthorn race. They also found that wasps that prey on the apple race of the flies are attracted to odors from apples, whereas wasps that prey on the hawthorn race are attracted to odors from hawthorn fruits. Propose an explanation for how genetic differences might have evolved between the wasps that parasitize the two host races of R. pomonella. How might these differences lead to speciation in the wasps?arrow_forward
