61. Greene and colleagues studied Zonosemata flies to see if their wing displays and markings deterred spider predators. They set up five experimental groups, as shown below: A в D E Treatment Zonosemata untreated Zonosemata Zonosemata with housefly wings Housefly with Zonosemata wings Housefly untreated with own wings cut and reglued What is the purpose of group D in the preceding figure? a. To examine the effects of the markings alone. b. To examine the effects another prey item. c. To examine the effects of the behavior alone. d. To examine the combined effects of the markings and behavior. To control for the operation of removing the wings. 62. You are asked to determine plant species diversity in a prairie patch. To determine how many samples to take you construct a a. species-area; the curve intercepts the x-axis b. species-area; the curve reaches an asymptote c. species-area; the curve displays damped oscillations d. rank-abundance; the curve intercepts the x-axis e. rank-abundance; the curve reaches an asymptote curve and keep taking samples until: 63. To show that the distribution of one plant species (species A) is due to competitive exclusion by a second species (species B), you could perform which of the following experiments: a. transplant species A into stands of species B
