American Museum of Natural History Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt will lead you through the history of life on our planet. You will
proceed through three main exhibits, but you will likely want to stop at other interesting
sights along the way. Plan on getting lost a few times too. Arrive before 2pm if you
want to finish this before the museum closes. Take as much time as you need and enjoy
the museum. SAVE YOUR TICKET AND STAPLE IT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT. No credit will
be given to assignments without tickets. If your assignment is messy, reprint and recopy
your answers onto a clean assignment.
Be sure you have a floor plan of the museum with you!

- Background As an expert in the field of mammalian reproductive strategies, you have been hired by the Department of Nature and Island Resources of the West Indies. This organization is a cooperative of several West Indies islands concerned with the loss of biological diversity on their island nations as tourism and development continue to grow. Scientists working on the island of St. Kitts and its sister island Nevis have uncovered what appears to be a previously undiscovered species of rodent. Based on the original description of this animal, it was placed in a genus within the squirrel family. What you have been hired to do is to help save the population on St. Kitts, which is small and threatened by development. The population is so small that individuals are having difficulty finding mates and, in many cases, the reproductive seasons are being delayed by up to one year. When you arrive in the region and begin your observations, you notice that the Nevis population is very healthy…arrow_forwardPlease choose on of the best answer that fits for this multiple choice question, Thank you 1)Consider a predator-prey relationship between crabs and sea snails. The crabs use their claws and jaws to crack open the shells of the sea snails, and so, by the principle of natural selection, any snail with a thicker shell would have an advantage and thicker shells would become more abundant. This in turn would create a selective pressure for stronger claws and jaws in the crabs, which in turn would give a selective advantage to snails with even thicker shells. This type of interaction between predators and prey is an example of A)secondary succession B) coevolution C)primary succession D)symbiosis E)competitionarrow_forwardIn your paper, respond to the article, Kenya- The Green Belt Movement, by considering the importance of this real-life experiment to not only the impoverished countries or those with overused resources, but also to those rich in finances or resources.

Could this Green Belt Movement provide similar hope for other countries around the world? What might be some ways to support the spread of these types of campaigns? Is this a realistic solution where social, economic, or environmental degradation exists? Why or why not?arrow_forward

- Hello, I need help answering number 1 a, b, & c using the graph below. Pls & thank you 1. a) Is it possible that the larger brain size of the gorilla is just a correlated response to selection for a larger body size in the gorilla (compared to the body size of the chimpanzee)? Does the information in the graph support or falsify this claim? b) Fossil evidence shows that it was not until the evolution of Homo erectus that the brain size in hominins really began to increase relative to body size. The range in brain size of early Homo erectus to late Homo erectus increased from 700 cc to 1000 cc (similar to the gram scale on the y-axis). This includes most of the 3x increase of brain size from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. But Homo erectus was about the height of modern humans. Does the graph show that brain size in H. erectus increased faster than body size even though H. erectus was taller than Australopithecus?
