Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason as to why foraging of humming birds is necessary for humming birds.
Introduction:
Foraging is the process in which a bird moves and migrates from one place to other in wide search of food provisions. They hover from place to place in search of food and to suck nectar. Different birds have different diets and hence they forage to different places in the search for their correct food. Studying the characteristics of foraging, ornithologists obtain a lot of information about various parameters of birds.

Instruction: Propose a hypothesis for the given scenario below. Please answer here directly. Also, support your answer with scientific bases. Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comb like antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make?
Many people like to eat spicy foods, but most other mammals don’t. Historically, the general trend was that the hotter the climate, the spicier the foods a society traditionally favored. Using these facts as a starting point, what might be the selective advantage for plants that can manufacture spicy chemicals? Why might it be useful for humans to tolerate, and even enjoy, spicy food?
