In exploitative interactions, one species gains a fitness advantage at the cost ofanother species. Which of the following is an example of exploitation?O A squirrel uses a hole in a tree as shelterA large grouper fish is cleaned of parasites by a cleaner shrimpO A millipede feeds on dead fragments of plants and animal fecesOA dragonfly kills and eats a beetleAlgae grows inside the tissue of a coral and produces nutrients for both

Ans: Option D : A dragonfly kills and eats a beetle.

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

A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors like, feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Considering Gause's law, conduct research on the California Red Legged Frog and the Northern Pacific TreeFrog (use wiki or other google search). Create a chart that compares the two with regard to their niche or their lifestyle that may explain how these two native frogs have evolved to coexist in the same ecosystem.
