For various reasons, some species prefer to live on the edge of a habitat patch while others fare better if they stay near the middle of a patch. In areas with a mosaic of grassland and woodland, warbler fledglings are more likely to survive when their parents nest in the core rather than the ecotone, because the ecotone is also habitat for brown-headed cowbirds. What is the name for the behavior of cowbirds that poses a risk to warblers? Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion

Consider two bird species that forage for insects that live in shrubs. The shrubs have a clumped, patchy distribution throughout their habitat. The two bird species have the same ability to locate, capture, and consume the insects. However, one species (species A) uses less energy to fly from patch to patch than the other species (species B). According to the marginal value theorem, which bird species should spend more time in each patch, and why?
A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.
What is predator management? What is the linkage between the evolution of prey and predator species and how this relates to the regulation of population size? please answer both
Studies of two species of blackbirds showed that red-winged blackbirds establish nests mostly on the edges of marshes, but also extend throughout the marsh if yellow-headed blackbirds are absent. Yellow-headed blackbirds can nest only in the middle of marshes, regardless of the presence of red-winged blackbirds, because they require wetter habitat. Based on this, which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. The realized niches of the two species differ. The fundamental niche of red-winged blackbirds is larger than its realized niche. The fundamental niche of red-winged blackbirds is larger than the fundamental niche of yellow-headed blackbirds. O The fundamental and the realized niches of red-winged blackbirds are the same. The fundamental and the realized niches of yellow-headed blackbirds are the same.
A population of 1,492 finches is introduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches show a death rate of 0.395 while the population drops to 1,134. What's the birth rate for this population? Is this proving to be a suitable habitat? (Two answers) * Yes, this is a suitable habitat. The birth rate is higher than the death rate. No, this is not a suitable habitat. The birth rate is much lower then the death rate. 589 -358 0.155 0.845 Which of the following is true of a population approaching its carrying capacity? The population's rate of increase approaches zero. ロロロ□
Rajah pitcher plants in Borneo may obtain most of the nitrogen they need from the scat of mountain tree shrews and summit rats, both of which eat pitcher plant nectar. The plants get the rest of their nitrogen from insects they capture and digest. Insects are scarce in the plants' mountain habitat and some plants may get all their nitrogen from scat. Which graph depicts what would most likely happen to the rajah pitcher plant population were the mountain tree shrew and summit rat to go extinct? Option A Time Option D O Option B O Option C C Option A Option B Option C Option D
Which of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships? A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant. B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird. C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators. D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.

On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. When placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. If one builds a canal linking a predator-rich pond to a predator-poor pond, then what type(s) of selection should subsequently be most expected among the mosquitofish in the original predator-rich pond, and what type(s) should be most expected among the mosquitofish in the formerly predator-poor pond? stabilizing selection; directional selection stabilizing selection; stabilizing selection less-intense directional selection; more-intense directional selection less-intense disruptive selection; more-intense…
What is the evidence that coevolution of different resource uses allows different finch species to coexist in the Galapagos Islands? Researchers have conducted experiments adding and removing food, and have studied how bill sizes have changed. Researchers have removed one finch species on islands where there are multiple seed-eating species, and have studied how bill sizes of the remaining species have changed. Researchers have compared bill sizes of finch species on islands where they are alone and islands where there is a second seed-eating finch. There is no scientific evidence at all. This is pure storytelling.
