If some individual plants of a species consistently attracted one type of pollinator, while other individual plants of that same species consistently attracted a different type of pollinator, what could be the possible consequence?
In a controlled experiment, Goldfields (a flowering plant) were transplanted to serpentine and sandstone soil with and without competitors. Which of the following statements is not an outcome of this transplant experiment? a. goldfield distribution is limited by biotic factors b. competition excludes goldfields from sandstone soils c. sandstone soil is a suitable biotic environment for goldfields d. results were conclusive because there was an experimental control e. serpentine soil is a suitable abiotic environment for goldfields
A) Using the information/image provided, why could the researchers rule out pollinator selection as a reason for flower color variation? B) What must be true about the flowers in Boechera stricta? A) Plants have both male and female flowers that are reproductively mature at the same time. B) Plants have both male and female flowers that are reproductively mature at different times. C) Plants produce either male or female flowers C) If the scientists' hypothesis is true, what type of herbivore defense is flower pigmentation in this mustard? either constitutive or inducible
Which of these hypotheses does not explain why increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere could cause a decrease in the productivity of some crops because of changes in climate? A) There could be increases in average winter temperatures that reduce the growth of crops. B) There could be decreases in precipitation in some regions that reduce growth in some crops. C) There could be shifts in the ranges of some important species in the community, such as pollinators, that cause reduction of growth in some crops.

Consider two bird species that forage for insects that live in shrubs. The shrubs have a clumped, patchy distribution throughout their habitat. The two bird species have the same ability to locate, capture, and consume the insects. However, one species (species A) uses less energy to fly from patch to patch than the other species (species B). According to the marginal value theorem, which bird species should spend more time in each patch, and why?
The increased biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert is a product of the presence of both High RGR and High WUE species. What is the reason we find both types of plants and not just one or the other? Question options: a. Different heights allow species to grow fast or slow in different light environments. b. The plants are always found growing together suggesting they have a mutualistic interaction. c. Different species take advantage of different kinds of rain storms that happen irregularly. d. One type of species facilitates the growth of the other by improving the soil conditions.
A. Why do we need to test the null hypothesis instead of just proving an alternative hypothesis? B. You are testing the effect of a particular fertilizer on a plant's growth. Your control plants don't get fertilizer while your test plants do. What would be your hypotheses and the null hypotheses?
