how the predictability of cues affects the evolution of learning, and, justify why they have the described effects on the evolution of learning. 2) Animals do not typically respond to the risks associated with foraging; they must obtain food regardless of risk. TRUE OR FALSE? 3) Many non-human animals, such as birds, exhibit a form of social learning called cultural transmission. TRUE OR FALSE?

When discussing natural selection and behaviour, we often say that members of a species have certain behavioural traits because those traits are adaptive, in the sense that they increase inclusive fitness relative to alternative forms of those traits that have existed in the past. Instead of emphasizing the adaptiveness of behavioural traits, some biologists describe natural selection as a process that operates on nervous system traits, increasing the prevalence within a population of particular patterns of neural circuitry and neurobiological mechanisms. As an alternative to emphasizing either the behaviour or the nervous system, some biologists describe natural selection as a process that operates on genes; according to this perspective, certain forms of certain genes (ie., particular alleles) increase in prevalence within a population relative to alternative forms of those genes. Which, if any, of these three perspectives on natural selection and behaviour do you think is the most…
Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.
A. Explain what imprinting is (use an example if that would help, but you can't use Geese and Konrad Lorenze or any other bird). B. How does imprinting combine both instinct and learning? C. How might imprinting be affecting the selection of mates in humans and (D) the evolution of racial differences in humans?
Based on (MS-LS4-4) standard(grade8) - Mathematical Representations of Natural Selection: Most scientists think that a small group of finches colonized the Galápagos Islands thousands of years ago. They would have been the only seed-eating birds on the islands. Suppose one island was very dry and another had plentiful rainfall. Q)How would the finch populations on these islands change over time? Reference to the evidence from data (pictures of Data Set C - Galapagos Islands Finch - 25cm Average Rainfall and Data Set C - Galapagos Islands Finches - Rainfall Effect are attached) and reasoning to support your claim to support your claim. Kindly use also examples outside of the prompt and vocabulary for explanation.
Directions: Write ADAPT if the statement is under the principle of Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and EVOLVE if the statement is under the principle of Charles Darwin. 1. Species may experience extinction if they are not fitted to live in their environment. 2. Species, which become extinct, just experienced evolution to fit in their environment. 3. Once a trait is developed due to adaptation in environment, it may be passed to succeeding oripnisms. 4. Habitual actions with a specific body part may lead to its changes. 5. Body parts that are of no use but still present in an organism's body are evidence for its ancestor species. 6. Animals with the same body part may have modifications depending on its physical requir. ements. 7. Changes happen in an organism for a long and uniform process. 8. A body part that is no longer used by an organism may lag from its development. 9. Birds grew web-like structure on their feet to be able to feed on the surface of water. 10. Ancestral…

Goswami disagrees with the Darwinian concept of canalized behavior. What are his main criticisms of the inheritance of acquired characteristics? (Select all that apply) Choose at least one answer. L a. The Darwinian evolutionary process is very fast and can manifest in a few generations. b. The availability of prolonged environmental stress to produce canalization over an entire species population is unlikely. c. There is no evidence that learned behavior is passed down to descendants.
Based on (MS-LS4-4) standard(grade8) - Mathematical Representations of Natural Selection:Based on the 'Galapagos Islands Finch - 25 cm Average Rainfall' dataset ( picture attached)This data set shows data from a population of finches for a period of five years when there was always an average rainfall of 25 cm per year. 1. What changes are observed in the beak depths of the population over the period of five years? 2. What is the average change in beak depth over the five-year period? Based on the data provided, does this change seem significant? Explain it.
Clarify the difference between claiming that, a) some behaviours are genetically determined, versus b) some differences among individuals in behavioural phenotype are genetically determined. Are both claims valid in some circumstances? Use any suitable example you know about to justify your answer.
Is the evolution of behavioral traits versus other traits, like morphological trait, likely to be different? Explain in details why the answer may be yes or no.
Based on (MS-LS4-4) standard(grade8) - Mathematical Representations of Natural Selection: Based on the 'Galapagos Islands Finches - Rainfall Effect' data set(picture attached).This data set shows data about finch populations that was collected at the end of a five year period where there were different amounts of rainfall. How were the finches affected by drought (rainfall less than 25cm/yr) and excess rainfall (rainfall more than 25 cm/yr)? Describe at least two changes observed. What do you think caused the changes in the finch population and average beak size during the periods of excess rainfall and periods of drought? Include appropriate scientific vocabulary when possible. What changes in 'beak-depth' genes within the finch population can be correlated to environmental changes?
How can behaviors be adaptive? Provide an example that includes support from the five tenants of evolution by natural selection: 1) overproduction of offspring, 2) variation in the population, 3) competition for resources, 4) adaptive advantage for some, and 5) reproduction for those who survive
