Question

what are some plausible phenotypic changes that we might see in different vector species as climate change progresses? How might these changes affect interspecific competition?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

2) In a particular island, the environment is semi-arid. There is a lizard population with a lot of variation for color. Normally, the light sandy color and golden colored lizard flourished because they escaped predation, while others were barely surviving. However, in recent years, a lot of rain has brought about a lot of vegetation. Which variation of lizard will now flourish in the area? * A) white B) Brown C) Green D) Red
Recall our discussions about the assumed relationships between oxpecker birds and cattle. Initial historical observations described them as mutualists. Based on the exclusion experiments by Weeks et al. (2000), which of the following is the best explanation for the association between oxpeckers and their cow friends? 10- E -5- 1st treatment p 0.6 2nd treatment p> 0.08 3rd treatment p>0.07 O a. They are true mutualists because the presence of the birds is associated with increased wound size and there is no significant decline in tick infestations. O b. They are true mutualists because the birds get the majority of their food in the form of eating the ectoparasites, like ticks, off the cattle and the cattle get the benefit of a reduced parasite burden. O c. They are not true mutualists because the oxpecker birds only cause harm to the cattle and no benefit. O d. They are not true mutualists because although the birds do decrease the amount of ear wax build up which could enable better…
