Chapter 40.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict:
The likely pattern of dispersion for male sticklebacks, if other male species invade its nesting territory.
Concept introduction:
The male stickleback fishes have a fixed behavioral response according to the stimuli, which the entry of the other sticklebacks inside the nest of a particular male stickleback fish. The fishes turn socially aggressive and develop a red color on the skin. This color acts as a warning signal for the variety of the other fishes near its place of living.

For the first graph, days are taken on x-axis. The mean foraging times are taken on y-axis. For the 2nd graph, percentage of prey caught during first half of winter(1-6days) were taken on x-axis and percentage of prey caught during 2nd half of winter(7-12days) were taken on y-axis.arrow_forwardPlease do by handarrow_forward

- Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist? American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.arrow_forwardThis is a system dynamics model of the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey model. The two stocks in the model are prey and predators. The _________ __________ of the prey and predators change in response to the inflows ______and outflows_____. Each iteration the stock changes by the inflows minus the outflows, or ___________________________. The ___________ feedback is the result of the interconnections between the predator and the prey. The prey _________ the predators, and the predators ________the prey. This simple interaction allows the system to _____________. When the predators ________the prey, the small numbers of prey leads to the predators __________. With a __________ in predators the prey_____________, and the cycle continues.arrow_forwardBased on the text on roaches mating: 1.

- Competition can lower the K for both species that are involved in the interaction. True Falsearrow_forwardThink about a predator-prey system that perfectly follows Lotka-Volterra dynamics. The search efficiency parameter (a) represents how quickly the predator finds and kills its prey. What would happen if most the predator population had a parasite that made them less effective predators? Infected animals find and kill prey less frequently (that is, the parasite caused the value of the search efficiency parameter to decline). the populations would still cycle; the amplitude of prey and predator would increase Othe populations would no longer cycle; the prey would increase and the predator would go extinct the populations would no longer cycle; the prey would go extinct and the predator would increase the populations would still cycle; the amplitude of prey and predator would decline the predator and prey populations would no longer cycle; the parasite and the predator populations would cycle insteadarrow_forwardDuring the drought of 1977 on the island of Daphne Major, which of the following answers correctly explains why birds with larger beaks had a competitive advantage over other individuals? These birds were able to hold more water. These birds were able to fight off birds with smaller beaks more successfully. These birds were able to smell and locate nesting sites with more accuracy. Birds with larger beaks were better able to utilize the large seeds.arrow_forward
