- Great white sharks prefer marine mammals like seals but can eat a number of other prey items, including birds and fish. According to the table below, what is the critical search time for seals, above which great white sharks should choose to eat an albatross if they encounter one? Prey item: seal (energy = 60 Mcals, handling time = 5 minutes) Prey item: albatross (energy = 10 Mcals, handling time = 2 minutes)Sit and wait vs active foraging cost and benefit Write at least 3 cost and benefit for at leastFitness and Selection: Rodent tails A researcher is studying a rodent species with a lot of variability in tail length. Individuals may have short tails, medium tails, or long tails. The researcher has noticed that a new invasive predator, which catches prey by their tails as they try to escape, seems to catch individuals with long tails more often than those with short tails. Based on a small field trial, the relative fitness of long-tailed individuals seems to be 0.6 compared to short-tailed ones (1.0), with medium tails in-between (0.8). Use the Examples tab to predict the outcome after selection for the rodent in regions with the invasive predator. What describes the population after 100 generations of selection? Choose all that apply. A-Short Tailed individuals are the most common phenotype. B-Short Tailed individuals are the only phenotype. C-This is an example of disruptive selection. D- The long tailed phenotype is no longer present E-This is an example of directional…
- The predator-prey relationship between five generations of wolves and elk is shown in the graph.In the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey equations, the term a b N prey N predator describes: The rate at which predators eat prey The rate at which new predators are added to the predator population The rate at which the predator population increases over time The intrinsic growth rate of the prey populationOld People e = 100 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2 hours Middle Aged People e = 400 calories λ = 20 per night h = 5 hours Young Adults e = 300 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2.5 hours Suppose that the organism need 1000 calories per night. - Which food item should the organism prefer, and which ones would you expect them to eat on a regular basis? Explain why and show calculations. - Explain marginal value theorem, and how it might relate to an organisms foraging decisions. - λ for Old People should increase in the coming years. How could that affect this organisms feeding on humans?
- What density of prey 1 would predators switch from generalist foraging to specializing on Prey 1Why is functional response to prey density important in ecological research?1) Think back to the example of ovenbird evoluon in South America. Ovenbirds are a diverse family of small, insect-eang birds that live mainly in South America. Different ovenbird species have adapted to rocky ocean shorelines, snowy mountains, scorched deserts and tropical rainforests. Like finches, ovenbirds have a variety of beak sizes and shapes, an important indicator of food preference that makes them ideal for studying evoluon. In ovenbirds, "some [beaks] are long and down-curved, like a scythe, for probing into crevices in tree bark and others have short dagger-like bills." What conclusions did the researchers reach? A) ovenbirds are diverse because they do not share any common ancestors B) ovenbirds because successful because they are not native to the area and could easily colonize the area C) birds have different beaks that help them exploit different resources and avoid competition 2) One ant species from Africa is best at competing for space, but is worse at colonizing a…
- Are feral cats bigger then average domestic cats could they grow to main coon size or even bobcat size?can you draw the survivalship curve of this data? use digital graphing please day animal survivors 0 50 2 44 4 39 7 26 9 24 11 23 14 23 16 23 18 20 21 20Do the following two hypothesis supports their graphs? Explain. Figure 1: The hypothesis for novice vs. experienced foraging is that animals who have been foraging for ages should have a greater chance of survival than beginner foragers since they are more skilled and invest less time looking for food. Figure 2: The hypothesis behind the impact of Prey camouflage is that if animals, especially novice foragers, take too much time searching, they are visible to predators for long durations, providing a better chance to attack.
