11.0 G. fortis 10.0- 1978 1976 9.0F 8.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 11.0 Midparent bill depth (mm) Geospiza is a genus of finches that inhabit the Galapagos Islands. In 1976, finches were grouped together based on the average depth of their bills. The data from the first generation of grouped finches are plotted on the X-axis. The bill depths of the offspring from each group are plotted on the Y-axis. In 1978, the experiment was repeated after a drought on the Galapagos Islands. The red line represents the data from 1976 and the blue line represents the data from 1978. The slope of both the red line is 0.90 and the slope of the blue line is 0.90. Was there any change in the heritability of the bill depth trait after the drought? Explain your reasoning. Offspring bill depth (mm)
EVOLUTION ASSESSMENT - FINCHES Galápagos Ground Finches Between 1973 and 1978, the population of ground finches (a type of small bird) on the Galápagos Islands decreased. Scientists made observations of the population throughout that time period. They recorded and graphed differences in the distribution of traits over time. The two sets of graphs below come from the data they collected.

A predator's foraging behavior can be altered by prey density is different ways (functional responses). While some predators consume more preys at higher prey density (e.g., spiders), other predators such as pelicans will slowly decrease prey consumption as prey density increases. What type of functional response will describe a backswimmer (aquatic predatory insect) that exhibits low prey consumption under low prey density, rapid prey consumption under moderate prey density that slows down at high prey density?
