- What is one thing in our modern environment that we are better adapted to than in our hunter/gatherer past environment? How does it increase our fitness?arrow_forwardA group of researchers are interested in whether temperature has an affect on time to metamorphosis in a species of frog. Eggs from a single pond were obtained and raised at either 15°C or 25°C until metamorphosis completed.

- What makes the ecosystem of the Galapagos Island different than those found on large continentals? Upon what did Charles Darwin's original research on finches of the Galapagos Island focus? Describe the research Peter and Rosemary Grant conducted on the finches in the 1970's. Discuss the relationship between the finches' beak depth size and survival in terms of natural selection and fitness and the environmental causes that shaped the finch population of the islands.arrow_forwardEvolutionary biology What are 4 conditions in which natural selection favors altruistic behaviors in which the individual performs costly actions to benefit others?arrow_forwardA mile-wide river separates two rabbit populations for a million years. Over time, one population evolves long ears and is more active near dark, when they can hear predators coming but the predators can't easily see their ears sticking up above the grass. The other rabbit population evolves short ears and is more active in the middle of the day; it is harder to see, but also doesn't hear predators approaching as well. Eventually the river dries up, and the rabbits start encountering each other again. What do you predict will initially happen when the populations first start to meet? O rabbits will avoid hybridizing, since it is usually a mistake rabbits will interbreed and have offspring with intermediate ears that are visible during the day and not as good at hearing predators at night O rabbits will know not to mate with any that don't have their same "ear size" O rabbits will already show complete reproductive isolation after one million years and will ignore each other, having…arrow_forward
- How do the classic experiments of C.F. Huffaker, using mites and oranges in the lab, inform us about how predator and prey populations are able to persist in nature?arrow_forwardHow can the migration patterns of the sea turtles be impacted? (Please explain this in 5-7 sentences.)arrow_forwardBased on these graphs, and assuming head raises of European finches helps watch for predators but also has a trade-off with eating, select the statements that these graphs support. Total head raises of entire flock per minute (a) 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 4 5 Flock size 0 1 2 3 6 Individual head raises per minute (b) 12 10 8 N T 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Flock size Time to husk a seed (seconds) As the flock size increases, individuals have less access to food 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 1 C 01 2 3 4 5 6 Flock size O The larger the size of the flock, the smaller the fitness of each individual As the flock size increases, individuals are able to eat more quickly The graphs support the hypothesis that there is no tradeoff at the individual level between watching for predators and husking seeds When groups are larger, individuals can spend less time watching for predators, but as a group they have spend more.

- A population of rodents establishes itself in a habitat that has previously been colonized by its same species. Soon after, the construction of an engineering work causes habitat degradation, which causes the total population to slow down. As time passes, the degradation is greater.a) Formulate mathematically the variation of the population size N of the rodent population at time t, first for the situation described without engineering work and then for the scenario with engineering work. Define the necessary parameters for your model. b) Indicate the equilibrium values of the population N.c) By what time should the population be extinct?arrow_forwardWhat is the summary of this paragraph?arrow_forwardOut of the three patterns, disruptive, directional, and stabilizing, which pattern of natrual selection is currently exhibited by banded snails as a result of human interference due to the urban heat island?arrow_forward
