Question
Chapter 53.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The pattern of dispersion that is likely to occur in case of the male stickleback fishes, when a male stickleback fish had attacked the other males for invading his nesting territory.
Concept introduction: Dispersion is defined as the spacing pattern within the individuals in a particular population boundary. Within the geographical range of a population, there can be differences in the local densities that would create contrasting dispersion patterns. Thus, differences in the local densities are the essential characters to study.

Q12. In some parts of Michigan, black bears are found near streams in the late summer and early fall and feed
upon the salmon that are swimming up the rivers. If a biologists saw 2 female bears working together to trap
and catch salmon, what are two hypotheses that would explain their behavior. Remember, it is NOT for the
good of the species.

The vigorous swimming motions that a male chinook salmon performs in creating a nest for females to lay her eggs are stereotypical and important for the proper construction of the nest. Which of the following answers best explains why all male chinook salmon follow a similar nest building behavior? a. Females chinook salmon are attracted to any unusual types of nest building behaviors. b. Males must use conditional strategies to build the best nest possible in a variety of habitats. c.

- Explain in short plz. Asap. Thanks Imagine a population of cacti living on an imaginary island called Plantopia. These cacti evolved to stop producing spines because there are no herbivores on Plantopia. Every year, a few cactus seeds are washed onto the shores of Plantopia from the mainland. There are many large herbivores on the mainland. (Tip: Try drawing the scenario to help you visualize it.) Name three mechanisms of evolutionary change ( 3 of mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, andgene flow.) that may be acting on alleles for spine production on Plantopia. For each mechanism, explain what effect it may have on spine production, and whether this change is adaptive or non-adaptive.arrow_forwardQ6arrow_forwardActivity 4. Make a Dichotomous Key.

- Briefly explain 3 adaptive responses that an organism might show to minimize the negative effects of competition. These responses might be regulatory, evolutionary, or anything else that is ecologically relevant.arrow_forward5arrow_forwardIs 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_forward
