Summary Introduction
To determine: The rate of evaporative water loss in a population that lives in moist environment and in a population that lives in dry environments.
Introduction: In order to survive an organism must be able to keep a constant osmotic pressure and water balance of their body. Evaporation is one of the key sources of water loss in animals. And to avoid water loss via evaporation animals adapted themselves across various range of ecosystem.

Ecology
How can the kangaroo rate survive without drinking water? Both physiology and behavior. Name and explain the three obligatory water losses and how they are exploited by the kangaroo rat
Consider a lizard and a bird, each of 35g body mass and each with optimal body
temperature of 35°C. For each species, draw graphs how its body temperature changes
over the course of 24 hours on (i) a cloudy day, and (ii) a sunny day, during SoCal winter
(minimum night temp 2°C, maximum day temp 10°C) and summer (minimum night temp
25°C, peak day temp 45°C). Remember that ambient temperatures are always reported
for shade. Discuss in detail various heat loss and gain mechanisms (physiologic and
behavioural) available to each species which help to explain your graphs.
What if one of Dr O's 35kg alligators got loose and started prowling the CSUSB
campus? Assuming the same optimal body temperature, how would the alligator's
thermoregulation in winter season differ from that of the 35g lizard? How might the
gator's thermoregulatory strategy differ before and after it ate the dean? (Alligators
regularly devour prey larger than themselves.)

The figure above (Fig. 1) is a 2-dimensional representation of a space for frog (in the absence of a competing species) based on the combination of two variables: moisture (% Relative Humidity [RH]) and temperature (°C). Size of the frog icon corresponds to how well it does (in terms of ecologic fitness) at various positions along these two environmental gradients. Flattened frogs indicate dead frogs; environmental conditions which are unsuitable for the frog's survival and reproduction. Italicized letters and numbers (on top) represent coordinates.

Scientists have made a few other observations about this system. (1) The woodsprite contains a microelement that is highly nutritious for the frogs. (2) The woodsprite are erratic flyers and only male frogs with the best hunting skills can capture them. (3) Female frogs live in dark caves and hunt cave-dwelling worms that are pink. (4) Females prefer males that present woodsprite during courtship. Given these observations, which of the following is likely an explanation for the female preference for the bright pink woodsprite? Direct benefit Sensory drive Indicator hypothesis All of the above Female balbasaur frogs typically mate multiply during a mating season.
