Describe the predation strategy (i.e., actively searching or ambush) of zebrafish under a well-lit environment.
Why is camouflage considered an adaptive response to predation?
Monarch and Viceroy butterflies look very similar. Both have orange wings with black stripes. However,
only Monarch butterflies are toxic. Viceroy butterflies are completely edible and perfectly tasty. Predators
avoid them, though, because they look like the inedible Monarch butterfly. Which set of terms below
describe Monarch and Viceroy butterflies?
O Aposematic coloration and Batesian mimicry
Aposematic coloration and Mullerian mimicry
O Cryptic coloration and Batesian mimicry
Cryptic coloration and Mullerian mimicry

Example: sparrow babies learn how to sing exactly at the same frequency as the mother. But if the babies grow isolated from their mother, the singing frequency will be different. 4) A turtle draws its head back into its shell when its shell is touched.

- Name each type of mimicry: Batesian Mimicry The harmless locust borer beetle looks, and even sounds like a bee. Mullerian Mimicry Apheloriine millipedes of the temperate North American forest produce enough hydrogen cyanide to kill a pigeon. The different Apheloriine species are all toxic and all have similar bright coloration.arrow_forwardIn the eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), mothers sometimes take parental favoritism to extreme lengths by killing their sons, but never their daughters (Heinsohn et al. 2011). Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes.

- Do 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.arrow_forwardWhat is the behavior’s evolutionary history?arrow_forwardFill in the types of coloration or mimicry: used by prey to signal that it is distasteful:_________ ; used by a moth with large eyespots on its wings:________ ; mimicry of a poisonous animal by a nonpoisonous animal:________; mimicry used by a predator to attract its prey:_________ .arrow_forward

How do hummingbirds “know” when it is time to return to their overwintering grounds?arrow_forwardDescribe the current population of Great White Sharks ( abundance, density,dispersion, dispersal ability )arrow_forwardFemale mimicry by males occurs in many species. For example, in the Broadley’s flat lizard (Platysaurus broadleyi), some males have the brown coloration of females while others are far more colorful (Whiting et al. 2009). Female mimics do secure some matings in the territories of their larger, more colorful rivals. Why are the bigger males (and those of the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta) ever fooled into tolerating a female mimic? Why do female mimics occur in any species if the mating success of these individuals is lower than that of the bigger territorial males? Don't write from any online source..arrow_forward
