Textbook Question
Chapter 39.5, Problem 4CC
WHAT IF? Ø Suppose a scientist finds that a population of plants growing in a breezy location is more prone to herbivory by insects than a population of the same species growing in a sheltered area. Suggest a hypothesis to account for this observation.

Scenario 4: On your frequent trips to Costa Rica you have seen that there are certain trees that have
ants that live on them and the same species of trees without ants. Trees that have ants living on them
show little sign of being eaten by herbivores (deer, cows, etc.), but trees without ants are severely injured
by herbivores. You think that ants may protect these trees somehow from herbivores.

If during the plant’s lifetime it produces 100,000 seeds, how many do not survive, do not grow, and cannot replace it when it dies.
