If a bird tries to eat a monarch butterfly, it throws up because monarch butterflies harbor toxins in their bodies that make potential predators sick. Birds quickly learn to leave orange and black butterflies alone. The viceroy butterfly looks very similar to the monarch, but is perfectly edible and very tasty. Yet birds leave the viceroy alone.

Mimicry of yellowjacket wasps by clearwing moths is an example of a harmless species resembling a dangerous one. What is the ad-vantage to the moth of this form of mimicry? What is the advan-tage to a dangerous species of mimicking another dangerous species?
A massive die-off of lobsters in the Long Island Sound was blamed on pesticides sprayed to control mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus. Why might a chemical designed to kill insects also harm lobsters but have no effect on sea stars?

Deathly Lamprey Repellent Predation by sea lampreys on native fishes in the Great Lakes is an ongoing problem. To help solve it, Michael Wagner and his team test methods of repelling lampreys. They carried out an experiment to investigate reports that sea lampreys detect the scent of lamprey carcasses and tend to avoid them. The researchers made alcohol-based lamprey carcass extracts, then observed what happened when lampreys were put in tanks and exposed to either this extract or to alcohol alone. FIGURE 25.6 shows their results. FIGURE 25.6 Effectiveness of carcass extracts as a lamprey repellent. Mean proportion of lampreys on the scented side of the test tank during B trials with 10 lampreys. Lampreys were placed in the tank for 20 minutes before exposure to alcohol or carcass extract and remained there for 40 minutes after exposure. The upper graph shows results with alcohol as the stimulus; the lower shows the results with carcass extracts. Bars indicate standard error. Why was it necessary to test the response of lampreys to the scent of alcohol alone?

In the following diagram, what do we know for sure about the snake? O It is a prokaryote It is in the dormain Bacteria O It is not a mammal O It is not in the same Phylum as a Giant Panda
Prior to its seeming eradication, the dreaded Guinea Worm (Dracunculus), was spread by: contaminated meat contaminated food, contaminated water, or feces O infected ticks O protozoan-laden cone-nosed beetles O protozoan-laden mosquitoes infected fleas infected copepods
If a disease eliminates the toxic newts from a habitat where the snake, Thamnophis sirtalis lives and if the newts do not subsequently re-colonize this habitat, then TTx resistence in snakes should decrease over time (select all that apply) - snakes without ttx resistence start making their own ttx. - snakes emigrate away from this habitat to new habitats where toxic newts liive - snakes with hiogh ttx resistance are captured more often by predators - snakes with high ttx resistence are out competed by snakes with low ttx resistence
