Chapter 25, Problem 2DAA
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.
What was the lowest proportion on lampreys on the scented side of the tank when the scent was alcohol? When the scent was alcohol-based carcass extract?

- Consider the effects of the same climate change scenario (+3°C) for a small frog with high cutaneous resistance, Litoria bicolor and cane toads Rhinella marina . The characteristics of the 3 species are show in the table below. The main differences among these 3 spreadsheets are the body masses and cutaneous resistances. Another difference is that, unlike Litoria caerulea, the other two species are assumed to be outside during the day rather than in a tree hollow. The wind speed inside a hollow is very low, and the humidity is higher. But the air temperatures are the same for all 3 models. Under the climate change scenario, were these 2 species exposed to lethal conditions for either water loss or body temperature? Species Mass (g) Cutaneous resistance (s/cm) Critical Thermal Maximum Temperature (°C) Litoria caerulea 50 14 37.5 Litoria bicolor 1 63 41.0 Rhinella marina 1, 50 or 500 1.7 37.5arrow_forwardDuring the 1800’s in NC and the Us the what domestic animal species posed the most risk for transmission of rabies to humans?arrow_forward1. cuttlefish are fish. a) true b) false 2.
