Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The observation supporting the Edith Widder’s hypothesis about giant squid foraging.
Introduction:
The members of the cephalopods include squids and octopuses. The giant squids have a developed brain, developed head, and developed eyes. The cephalopods have tentacles, muscular arms, and radula for the preying of organisms and tearing them.

- Decribe Brown’s large granivore experiment and what was his hypothesis (Chapter 13)? Why did Brown’s research team create controls by completely fencing study plots and then cutting holes in their sides to allow free passage of rodents into and out of the plot? Why not just compare the density of small rodents in the large granivore removal plots with their densities in the surrounding desert? Why did they look at insectivores and what did the lack of response in insectivores indicate? Why did they repeat their large granivore experiment?arrow_forwardDoes Totoaba offer any ecosystem benefits?

- According to the video, what was the effect of artificially-modified ant density in acacias on the elephant feeding behavior? (Choose one.) a. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, so did the number of branches fed on by elephants. b. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, the number of branches fed on by elephants decreased. c. As the density of ants per A. depranolobium increased, the number of trees fed on by elephants decreased. d. Elephants fed more frequently on Acacia depranolobium trees with their ants removed than on A. depranolobium trees with ants. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293sarrow_forwardIn Brown’s large granivore experiment, Why did they look at insectivores and what did the lack of response in insectivores indicate?arrow_forward(A) Define Eusocial behavior.

Explain how the thing you chose helps to protect ecosystems.arrow_forwardHoney bee workers from a colony in North Carolina are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 am as shown below. Site A is 1500 m from the hive; site B is 300 m from the hive. While most of the foragers are out in the field, a sudden downpour strikes which drowns many of the bees outside the hive. As a result, there is a shortage of foragers in the nest at a time when much food is available in the field. Which of the following can you correctly predict will happen: a. The loss of foragers will cause increased activity of the Gp9 gene in some of the bees inside the nest, which will decrease their JH levels, causing them to revert to nursing behavior and raise more brood to quickly replace the lost foragers. b. The loss of foragers will result in decreased transfer of ethyl oleate to the younger bees, which will cause JH titers in some of the younger bees to increase and they will become precocious foragers. c. The loss of contact with older bees will cause increased Amfor and…arrow_forward

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.arrow_forwardWhat is the reason that Ethiopian wolf important to its ecosystem?arrow_forward
