Acorn woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) stash acornsin storage holes they drill in trees. When these woodpeckersbreed, the offspring from previous years often help withparental duties. Activities of these nonbreeding helpers includeincubating eggs and defending stashed acorns. Propose somequestions about the proximate and ultimate causation of thesebehaviors that a behavioral biologist could ask.
Northern flickers are woodpeckers of the eastern United States. Males, but not females, have black feathers that resemble a moustache extending from the bill along each side of the head. Aggression between males is common, but male and female members of breeding pairs are not aggressive toward one another. However, when scientists painted a moustache on female members of breeding pairs, their mates attacked them. This suggests that a.) the moustache is a releaser for aggression. b.) aggression is a learned behavior. c.) the moustache is a neutral stimulus. d.) aggression is a conditioned reflex. e.) the moustache is a conditioned stimulus.
DRAW IT You are considering two optimal foraging models forthe behavior of a mussel-feeding shorebird, the oystercatcher. Inmodel A, the energetic reward increases solely with mussel size.In model B, you take into consideration that larger mussels aremore difficult to open. Draw a graph of reward (energy benefiton a scale of 0–10) versus mussel length (scale of 0–70 mm) foreach model. Assume that mussels under 10 mm provide nobenefit and are ignored by the birds. Also assume that musselsstart becoming difficult to open when they reach 40 mm inlength and impossible to open when 70 mm long. Consideringthe graphs you have drawn, indicate what observations andmeasurements you would want to make in this shorebird’shabitat to help determine which model is more accurate.
