Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The role of diversifying selection in the diversity of honeycreepers on the Hawaiian Islands.
Introduction: The geographical locations that are highly isolated from other parts of the world allow a high rate of evolution of a small group of organisms into a vast number of different species. This is an example of allopatric

- Please Help! Q1) Butterflies in Africa (species 1) pollinate just one species of flower with a short corolla reducing the variation in the length of the tongue of its pollinators. Butterflies in Europe (species 2) have variable lengths as they pollinate several different species of flowers. What is the mechanism shaping the length of the tongue in species 1?______ Q2) A variation on what morphological trait made the difference between life and death among all surviving finches in the draught of 1977?

Simulations 4-6 had lower density of birds (more spacing), how did this influence their ability to escape predation? With more spacing, which number of Junco’s was most advantageous (4, 8, and 16)? Ecologically explain this result. If this flock of birds occurred in an area with low food availability what flock density would you predict? Explain how food availability impacts flock size/competition. Was there a relationship between prop. Vigilance (proportion of birds looking up right before Hawk attack) and the rate at which they escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance (average number of birds looking up each tick) and the rate at which the Junco’s the escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance and the number of birds in the flock?arrow_forward
