Describe how changes in the ladybugs'environment may influence their survival and/or reproduction. Make sure to use the vocabulary terms adaptation, natural selection, and polymorphic.
The special adaptations of birds contribute to two essentials for flight: more power and less weight. Explain how each of the following contributes to one or both of these two essentials: feathers, skeleton, muscle distribution, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, excretory system, reproductive system.

Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
Data was collected concerning Galapagos bird beak size over time. There are 13 types of Galapagos finches, and they are also known as Darwin's Finches. These finches share the same habits and characteristics except for one; they all have different beaks. The differences in their beaks might be the most important aspect of their survival because beak size determines the type of seed able to be eaten. Only the birds with the largest of beaks are able to eat the toughest, biggest, and spine covered seeds. Based on the data given, choose the BEST conclusion. A) This data shows that over time the type of food available remained constant. Eliminate B) This data shows that the environment did not change over the course of time. C) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to food availability. D) This data shows a fluctuation in bird species over time most likely due to the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Not Graded

Why are there sexual conflicts of interest among primates between the sexes? Detail the "anisogamy problem." Are there overlapping interests between males and females? References are the books "Primate Behavioral Ecology" by Karen Strier and "Planet Without Apes" by Craig Stanford
Peter and Rosemary Grant of Princeton University have studied the ecology and evolution of finches on the Galapagos Islands since the early 1970s. They have shown that finches with large bills (as measured by bill depth; see Figure) can eat both small seeds and large seeds, but finches with small bills can only eat small seeds. In 1977, a severe drought on the island of Daphne Major reduced seed production by plants. After the birds consumed whatever small seeds they found, only large seeds were still available. The resulting food shortage killed a majority of the medium ground finches (Geospizafortis) on Daphne Major; their population plummeted from 751 in 1976 to just 90 in 1978. The Grants research also documented a change in the distributions of bill depths in the birds from 1976 to 1978, as illustrated in the graphs to the right. In light of what you now know about the relationship between bill size and food size for these birds, interpret the change illustrated in the graph. What type of natural selection does this example illustrate? Source: P. R. Grant. 1986. Ecology and Evolution of Darwins Finches. Princeton University Press.
