Determine whether these groups of animals are exhibiting the dilution effect. The brown bears that inhabit the Kodiak islands of Alaska eat a wide variety of foods, including berries, leaves, and insects. One of their main food sources, though, is the salmon that swims upstream to spawn in the fall. Great numbers of bears gather in and ; around the streams to hunt the large schools of traveling salmon. There are so many fish moving upstream in the fall that the bears cannot catch them all. 1)Kodiak bears gathering at streams for the salmon run 2)Salmon moving upstream in large schools

Red-billed oxpeckers feed almost exclusively on what they can collect from the skin of large African mammals. This includes ticks and other ectoparasites, but also dead skin and blood of the mammal. The attached image shows a red-billed oxpecker sitting on the back of a warthog with a tick in its bill. A recent study found that the depletion of African mammals due to habitat loss and hunting leads to declines in oxpeckers. Researchers were interested in whether the nature of the interaction between African mammals and oxpeckers was context-dependent. They compared the effect of removal of oxpeckers in two areas in which the number of ticks on the mammals differed. Given the data described in the introduction to this section, what effect do African mammals have on oxpeckers a) Positive b) negative c) neutral

Researchers were interested in whether the nature of the interaction between African mammals and oxpeckers was context-dependent. They compared the effect of removal of oxpeckers in two areas in which the number of ticks on the mammals differed. In area 2, stomach content data of oxpeckers showed they consumed ~400 ticks per day. Cows were infested experimentally with large numbers of tick larvae and then oxpeckers were introduced at different stages in the tick life cycle (larvae; nymph; adult). They counted the number of adult ticks that dropped off the…
