Some eastem North American populations of apple maggot (Rhagoletis pomonella) have shifted hosts from the downy hawthom (Crataegus mollis) to eastem apple (Malus pumile) which were introduced within the last 130 years. Given the seasonal timing of fruit development of both eastern apple and downy hawthorn (see image below, from Hood, et al., 2019), what statement best describes the evolutionary pattems observed in apple maggots? Eastern apple (EA) Native range June July Downy hawthom (DH) August September October O The average timing of apple maggot seasonal mating and egg laying is expected to occur earlier in the year Allopatric processes are responsible for divergence between apple maggot populations preferentially mating on eastem apple vs downy hawthorn Populations of apple maggot are in Hardy Weinbery Equilibrium O Eastern apples and downy hawthorns should be considered a single species based on apple maggot mating preferences O Apple maggot should be considered two species based on the biological species concept

Oaks in California are suffering from a phenomenon called sudden oak death (SOD). This has the potential to convert oak-dominated communities to communities made up of mostly grasses and smaller plants. How would this change the abundances of the tick species described in the article? Make a prediction for each of the three most abundant species, and describe the specific results in this article that justify your prediction.

A. Species K can be used as an outlier. B. The most recent common ancestor for Species A to D probably infected water fowl. C. The most recent common ancestor for Species A to F probably infected fish. D. We can conclude that infection of water fowl by Species D is a reversal event. E. A minimum of three evolutionary events are needed to result in the pattern of host usage distribution depicted in the figure.
A species that has a high rate of long-distance dispersal is more likely to colonize new habitat. But that species may also be less likely to adapt to local conditions, because migration will be stronger than local selection pressures for many loci. In light of those considerations, when do you expect that increasing dispersal might result in the evolution of a larger geographic range, and when might it not?
An event occurs where a large population of photosynthetic sun-basking sharks move to a new geographical location, and are unable to return. In their new location, they must rely much more on consuming fish for nutrients, as there are less available places to bask/rest, and higher risk for hunting if they remain at the surface for long periods of time. What type of prezygotic isolating mechanism occurred? In 100 years, how do you think the relocated sharks will differ physically from the original population? Give at least 2 features and explain why you think so.
Which of the following models, that attempt to explain human origins and dispersal, no longer is supported due to current information supplied by genetic evidence? In other words, which model has been thrown out while the other two are still being debated? Group of answer choices multiregional model partial replacement model complete replacement model

The “Progression Rule” of biogeography states that the oldest islands of an archipelago will host the oldest lineages of a radiation and the youngest islands will host the youngest lineages. The Hawaiian islands offer a number of examples of progression, one of which is depicted below. First, do Darwin’s Giant Daisies follow the Progression Rule? Second, describe a historical process of diversification and dispersal that might be responsible for the pattern you actually observe for Scalesia. This needn’t be completely precise—I don’t want every dispersal event documented!—just sufficient to capture the general process. (as a hint, he told me to consider speciation, extinction, and/or dispersal as the historical processes)

Through the human introduction of invasive species and forced migration of various species such as pack mules, elk, and hog-nosed skunks into the Kaibab squirrels’ habitat, scientists hypothesize two outcomes that might occur to the squirrel population. Examine the following null hypotheses formulated to explain rates of speciation and extinction of the Kaibab squirrel population as an influx of species continues to migrate into their niche. Null Hypothesis: The rate of speciation (C) remains steady when species compete for available resources while all will continue toward extinction (B). Which of the following graphically depicts the alternative hypotheses?
Consider a metapopulation of iguanas inhabiting a chain of small islands off the coast of South America. In year 1, there are iguanas on 15 of the 60 islands. The probability of a given empty island being colonized in a given year is 0.11, and the probability of the population going extinct on any particular occupied island in a given year is 0.12. In year 1, what will be the rate of change in the proportion of islands occupied by iguanas, based on the Levins metapopulation model? Determine the number of islands that should be occupied when the metapopulation reaches equilibrium. Should this metapopulation go extinct, or should it persist? How do you know?
