Question

Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Effect of Food Density sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include 

Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance.

Hypothesis: higher food density corresponds to an extended duration of foraging.

**Food Density Study: Mean Foraging Time Over a 20-Day Period**

The graph illustrates the relationship between food density and mean foraging time over a period of 20 days. The data is represented by four lines, each indicating a different food density level: 1x, 1/2x, 1/3x, and 1/4x.

- **Axes**:
  - The x-axis represents time in days, ranging from 0 to 20.
  - The y-axis represents the mean foraging time in seconds, ranging from 0 to 70 seconds.

- **Legend**:
  - Blue line: 1x density
  - Orange line: 1/2x density
  - Grey line: 1/3x density
  - Yellow line: 1/4x density

### Observations:
- **1x Density** (Blue):
  - Generally shows a steady increase in mean foraging time, with significant peaks around days 2 and 16.
  
- **1/2x Density** (Orange):
  - Displays some fluctuation but generally maintains lower mean foraging times, ending with a peak around day 14.
  
- **1/3x Density** (Grey):
  - Highly variable, with multiple peaks throughout the study period, particularly around day 6 and day 11.
  
- **1/4x Density** (Yellow):
  - Starts with high mean foraging times, peaking sharply by day 2, then decreases significantly, maintaining a low level throughout the remaining period.

The graph provides insights into how different food densities affect the foraging behavior of the subjects over time, indicating a clear dependency of foraging time on food availability.
