C) new items are added to the diet only if their handling time is larger than average. D) when search time is long relative to handling time, predators should be generalists.

Interpret the following graphs: In the graphs, the number of days are 18.. 1 day is equal to 60 sec. For the first graph, days are taken on x-axis. The mean foraging times are taken on y-axis. For the 2nd graph, percentage of prey caught during first half of winter(1-6days) were taken on x-axis and percentage of prey caught during 2nd half of winter(7-12days) were taken on y-axis.

1.) Humans benefit from the presence of certain vitamin Kproducing bacteria that live in the large intestin The bacteria get food and shelter in return . This relationship is an example of A.)parasitism B.) predation C.) commensalism D.( mutualism 2.) A predator-prey relationship exists between the Canada lynx and the snowshoe hare. Lynx that are more successful hunters, are more likely to survive and reproduce, and thus pass on their traits to the next generation. Snowshoe hares that are faster or better at hiding are also more likely to pass on their successful traits From the above information , one can conclude that predator -prey interactions influence the process of A.) inbreeding B.) natural selection C.) artificial selection D.) parasitism 3.)
