Question
Chapter 52.3, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The adaptive nature for diurnal, nocturnal, and crepuscular species.
Introduction: Biological rhythms help the animals in adapting to different types of changes taking place in the environment. Circadian rhythms control different types of biological rhythms involving daily or 24-hour cycles of activity like nocturnal animals show maximum activity during darkness while diurnal animals are active mostly during the day.

For example, in the Broadley’s flat lizard (Platysaurus broadleyi), some males have the brown coloration of females while others are far more colorful (Whiting et al. 2009). Female mimics do secure some matings in the territories of their larger, more colorful rivals. Why are the bigger males (and those of the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta) ever fooled into tolerating a female mimic? Why do female mimics occur in any species if the mating success of these individuals is lower than that of the bigger territorial males? Don't write from any online source..arrow_forward
- 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.
