WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS In Batesianmimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimickingan unpalatable one. Imagine that individuals of a palatable,brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands.The first island has no predators of that species; the second haspredators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and thethird has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatablespecies. In a short essay (100–150 words), predict what mighthappen to the coloration of the palatable species on each islandthrough time if coloration is a genetically controlled trait.Explain your predictions

Genes get selected for based on pressures. It is now known that several species (bacteria, plants, and animals) adaptions potentially reflect a response to human actions. Which of the following represent examples of how species are adapting to human behaviors? Choose all that apply. O Dandelions getting longer in areas that are constantly mowed O Bacteria exhibiting antibiotic resistance O The peppered moth expressing dark coloration genes during the industrial revolution O Cholera bacteria becoming more mild when water sources are cleanerarrow_forwardWhich of the following scenarios best explains how resource partitioning can lead to adaptive radiation? The lack of competition between individuals leads to better survival and reproduction rates. The utilization of different resources requires different adaptations, selecting for different traits. The lack of competition leads to a more balanced ecosystem, resulting in more offspring. There is no connection between adaptive radiation and the resource partitioning in nature.arrow_forward
- Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution.

Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic?

For example, during the 14th century, the bubonic plague killed approximately one- third of the human population. A. Is the bubonic plague an example of a dènsity-dependent or density-independent factor? Explain. B. Two-thirds of the population survived the bubonic plague, even though many of the survivors were most likely bitten by disease-carrying fleas. In terms of evolution, explain how it was possible to be a survivor. C. Discuss two ways that humans have increased the carrying capacity of their population.arrow_forward
- Choose all incorrect statement. In 2021, 23 species were declared extinct. Most of these have been presumed to be extinct for decades. Eight of the declared extinctions were bird species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. One species declared extinct was the Molokai creeper (pictured). Main causes of their extinction include loss of suitable habitat, disease, and predation by introduced mongooses and rats. Avian malaria is transmitted between bird species in Hawaii by mosquitoes that were brought to the islands by ships many decades ago. Which of the following statements is NOT accurate? a.Avian malaria is a vector-borne disease; if it infects 90% of the birds regardless of bird population size, it is acting as a density-independent factor. b.Among vertebrates, bird population sizes have declined the most compared to any other vertebrate group. c.Eliminating invasive rats and mongooses from the Hawaiian Islands, like goats were eliminated from the Galapagos, could help prevent further…arrow_forwardBased on the marine biologists research journal entries identify an autotroph, herbivore or a carnivore pick one and identifyarrow_forwardThe Red Queen hypothesis is popular in ecology because it explains well the interaction between two chess pieces, which is a metaphor for sexual selection among related species evolutionary arms race between trees and fish, where trees take up nutrients released by dying salmon evolution of spider web shapes in forests compared to those in grasslands effect of parasites on host population sizes and therefore effects on competitor species evolutionary arms race between parasites and hostsarrow_forward
