Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.

In a population of birds, males have long red tail feathers that they use in mating displays, and also sing in the mornings to attract females. You find that some males have more red feathers in their tails than others, while some sing for longer periods of time. In this bird species, a high proportion of eggs fail to hatch. You measure the number of eggs that successfully hatch that are fathered by each male bird, and find that the number of successful hatchlings is proportional to how long a male sings, but is unrelated to the amount of red in his tail. Question: Propose an explanation for why males evolved both to sing and to have red tails, and how females likely evolved in response to both traits.

Match the correct term with each example. 1. Finches' beaks are specialized to what they eat. If it is a wet season, there are plenty of greens, flowers, and small seeds. Finches with smaller beaks are able to eat more. They, therefore, have a better survival rate. 2. A population of snails live on rocks on the side of a stream. The population of snails has three phenotypes; dark brown, brown, and light brown. When the rocks are wet, they are dark brown. When the rocks are dry, they are light brown. Dark brown and light brown snails have a higher survival rate. 3. There is a wide range of birth weight in babies. Babies in the middle range have a better survival rate than babies that are too big or too small. a. stabilizing selection b. diversifying selection c. directional selection
