North American desert horned lizards have the unusual ability to flood their ocular sinuses with blood. By contracting muscles within their eyes, the lizards can rupture their sinus membranes and cause blood to squirt from their eye socket. This unique behaviour is used as a defense strategy. For natural selection to select for this trait, what must be true about this behaviour?

How could natural selection have led to the evolution of adaptationssuch as camouflaging coat color in beach mice?
House sparrows (Maya) were introduced to North America in 1852. Since that time thesparrows have evolved different characteristics in different locations. Sparrow populations inthe north are larger-bodied than sparrow populations in the south. This divergence inpopulations is probably at least partly a result of natural selection: larger-bodied birds canoften survive lower temperatures than smaller-bodied birds can. Colder weather in the northmay select for larger-bodied birds. What type of evolution based on natural selectionaccounts for this observation? Explain your answer.
The elaborate tail of the peacock (Pavo cristatus) is approximately 120 cm to 150 cm long, while the tail ofthe peahen is quite short. The long tail reduces the male bird’s ability to maneuver and fly and makes him moreconspicuous to predators. Suggest at least one reason why this cumbersome structure has not been eliminatedby natural selection.
This spectacular animal is a Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, from the highlands of Papua New Guinea. In the context of various evolutionary phenomena, why do you suppose: (a) This bird is confined to New Guinea and two nearby islands? Why would you not expect to find it in the mountains of Borneo? Explain in detail. (b) This spectacular tail presumably attracts predators; why hasn't natural selection acted to reduce it or camouflage it? Explain in detail.
With regard to biological evolution, which of the following statements is incorrect? Explain why.A. During its lifetime, an animal evolves to become better adaptedto its environment.B. The process of biological evolution has produced species thatare better adapted to their environments.C. When an animal is better adapted to its environment, the process of natural selection makes it more likely that the animalwill reproduce.
Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
While the French biologist LaMarck was correct in proposing that evolution does occur, he believed that the long necks of giraffes evolved as generations of giraffes reached for ever higher leaves on the trees. Using these observations, LaMarck proposed the theory that evolution occurs due to the inheritance of characteristics acquired during an organism’s lifetime. From what you know about the scientific method, why is this incorrect?
Many species of animals make alarm calls, which warn others in their group that a predator is approaching. Alarm calls also attract the atten- tion of the predator, making it more likely that the individual making the call will be eaten. Why might natural selection favor the evolution of alarm calls in a species? How might you test that hypothesis?
Evolutionary biologists often say that evolution “selects for outcomes” not for the particular genetic changes that lead to that adaptive outcome. Given that perspective, is it surprising that different gene mutations might be involved in the evolution of the same trait (such as light skin or adaptation to living in high mountains)? Why or why not?
Which of the following is not an observation orinference on which natural selection is based?(A) There is heritable variation amongindividuals.(B) Poorly adapted individuals never produceoffspring.(C) Species produce more offspring than the environment cansupport.(D) Only a fraction of an individual’s offspring may survive.

If natural selection can only operate on existing variants, where does all that variation come from? If, as Darwin (1868) and Huxley concluded, variation arose from changes in development, then how could the development of an embryo change when development is so finely tuned and complex?
