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.

- simple explain plzarrow_forward. Simulations 4-6 had lower density of birds (more spacing), how did this influence their ability to escape predation? With more spacing, which number of Junco’s was most advantageous (4, 8, and 16)? Ecologically explain this result. If this flock of birds occurred in an area with low food availability what flock density would you predict? Explain how food availability impacts flock size/competition. Was there a relationship between prop. Vigilance (proportion of birds looking up right before Hawk attack) and the rate at which they escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance (average number of birds looking up each tick) and the rate at which the Junco’s the escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance and the number of birds in the flock?arrow_forwarddestion 6 Which statement describes the most likely outcome for the owl and toad populations in an environment in which skyglow and glare become factors?

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. Nest building is critical to increasing fitness and these behaviors are an example of a fixed action pattern. d. Male chinook salmon must balance the energy spent building a nest with surviving for another year.arrow_forwardCASE STUDY CONNECTION Describe five ecological changes to freshwater communities in the Great Lakes or the Hudson River that have occurred since the invasion of the zebra mussel.
