- Males of certain Australian beetles have been seen trying to copulate with everything from beer bottles to large orange signs. Apply ethological terminology to these cases by identifying the releaser, the fixed action pattern, and the innate releasing mechanism. Then develop an ultimate hypothesis to account for what clearly is maladaptive behavior on the part of these obtuse beetles (which sometimes die rather than leave the inanimate and unresponsive copulatory partners that they have chosen). (Don't use any online resource)arrow_forwardWhich is NOT a parasitic relationship? The Dutch elm disease fungus infects and kills elm trees. The trichina worm burrows into muscle tissue, forms a cyst, and waits to continue its cycle until a predator consumes the host. A female tick fastens to the skin of a human host and draws blood for nutrition to make her eggs. Unsightly dandelions sprout in a yard and outcompete with the fescue grass for sunlight. What is a name for a group of different populations interacting together? a population a community an ecosystem biosis Two different species in a particular ecosystem share the same niche. What is most likely true about these two species? They are the result of an allopatric speciation event They compete intensely One is a predator, the other its prey They are the result of a sympatric speciation eventarrow_forwardIf a person is bitten by a mosquito with the malaria orgaism it get into humans via the mosquitos saliva. The protists travel through the blood to the host's ___________. They leave the liver and then live in the host's __________. Here they multiply. They leave the red blood cells and move into a ___________ when it bites the host. The malaria gemetes the mosquito ingests get fertilized in the mosquito and then move to the mosquito's ____________.arrow_forward
- Explain mode of transmission for Guinea Worm Disease (Dracunculus medinensis). Go into some detail about the IH, the copepod. In some parts of Africa, guinea worm occurs in some pretty dry areas which raises the question of why we still see high transmission rates when there is so little water.arrow_forwardWhich one of these is NOT an example of a parasite? Select one: a. A bromeliad plant growing on the trunk of a rainforest tree that derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain and debris accumulating around the plant. b. A leech feeding on blood it extracts from the leg of a human host. c. A Rafflesia plant using a specialised absorptive organ, known as a haustorium, to draw nutrients from other plants. d. A tapeworm that lives inside the intestine of an animal and feeds off the food that the animal is digesting. Which one of the following BEST describes the consequences of an altruistic interaction between the donor and the recipient of the behaviour? Select one: a. Positive for the donor, positive for the recipient. b. Negative for the donor, positive for the recipient. c. Positive for the donor, negative for the recipient. d. Negative for the donor, negative for the recipient.arrow_forwardWhich statement about slime molds is correct? A. Cellular slime molds have haploid zygotes. B. Cytoplasmic streaming helps distribute nutrients and oxygen in cellular slime molds. C. In plasmodial slime molds, the haploid condition is the dominant part of the life cycle. D. Cellular slime molds have fruiting bodies that function in sexual reproduction. E. Cellular slime molds form masses when food is scarce, but their cells remain separated .arrow_forward
- Evolution: Describe industrial melanism and the effect it had on peppered moths.arrow_forwardIn Dictyostelium, cheats must modify their behavior when in a chimera to take advantage of their partner. A. depends on whether they perform direct reciprocity B. FALSE C. depends on whether they perform indirect reciprocity D. TRUEarrow_forwardin your own words: Some insects parasitize other insects. These are known as parasitoids. Select one from among these parasitoidsand explain their life cycle; explain how it parasitizes its host and you may include other features.arrow_forward
- Scientists from Temple University used radioactively “tagged” carbon dioxide to determine that spotted salamander embryos Multiple Choice benefit from carbohydrates produced by the green algae living in the jelly layer of the eggs. are consuming the carbon dioxide produced by the green algae living in the jelly layer of the eggs. are producing oxygen for the green algae living in the jelly layer of the eggs. receive no benefit from having green algae living in the jelly layer of the eggs. are consuming the oxygen released by the green algae living in the jelly layer of the eggs.arrow_forwardThink about thrush. This is an example of what type of parasite? A. thallus, fungus B. yeast, single celled fungus C. mold, multicellular fungus D. nematodearrow_forwardWhy it is said that mole crickets are polyphagous? Is this insect a destructive pest? Justify your answer.arrow_forward
