Note a particular animal behaviour at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, (eg. chickens, cows, horses, sheep) on at least four (4) different occasions, taking note of the animal’s targeting (observed) behaviour, as well as any other competing or associated behaviours that may have an impact on that animal’s decision-making processes while under your observation. Your total observation time over the 4 periods must add up to at least 2 hours of data.
Keep a log of these observations and also do a 1-page report attempting to describe the adaptive value of the behaviour that you observed.
For clarification, the adaptive value is a measure of the evolutionary impacts of a behaviour, i.e. the ultimate function of a behaviour (what purpose it serves) in order to maximize fitness (survival and/or reproduction).

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

Question 11
Oldfield deer mice live in the southeastern United States. The mice in populations that live near the white-sand beaches along the coast have light-colored fur. Mice in populations that
live inland have dark-colored fur.
Researchers created wooden models of the mice and painted half of the models to resemble light mice and half of the models to resemble dark mice. Models of both colors were
randomly distributed on a beach habitat, and the number of times each color model was attacked by visual predators, such as hawks and owls, was recorded. The researchers
determined the percent of attacks on each model color and presented their results in the graph.

exactly how much sleep
you need, on a night you

If you get 1 hour less sleep than you need each

Kudu Scenario
Kudu are an antelope species found in easterm and southerm Africa. Male kuou have dramatically spiraled
homs, which makes them a target of trophy hunters. Begin by setting up the following parameters: k= 100, r=
0.26, N, = 10. Use the gear icon to adjust the min & max values of N, and k to 2 and 200, respectively. Set
the max value oft to 50.
25. At what time ("T value) do kudu populations reach their carrying capacity, given these parameters?
28. What happens to the growth rate of a kudu population as it gets closer and closer to its carrying
сарacity?
27. What sorts of environmental changes might cause k to increase in this environment? What might
cause k to decrease?
28. Trophy hunters move into the area, leading to an increased death rate, which decreases the growth
rate rto 0.13. Exolain how this change will impact the population growth patten. [Hint Look at when
the population now reaches its carrying capacity, given this decrease in r. Compare your original curve…
