Question
Chapter 37, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The odd behaviors of certain animals regarding survival and reproduction in terms of trade-offs.
Concept introduction:
Trade-offs is the phenomenon when one trait cannot exceed without another trait being reduced or vice versa. Trade-off situation can be created by a number of biological and physical factors.

Tiger Moths produce high pitched ultrasonic clicking when they hear the echolocation calls of bats and we know that bats eat moths. As a result, the bat's sonar is jammed and the Tiger Moth escapes without being caught, killed, and eaten. Please use your knowledge of Evolution by Natural Selection to explain the process by which this remarkable anti-predator defense evolved in Tiger Moths.
Please help me with this question! Thank you.
Of what significance is the difference in color of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body? What is the protective advantage of this if the predator approaches a swimming bullfrog or toad from above or from below?
A desert beetle in northern Mexico can change its behavior to regulate its body temperature above 35c. When would being in a burrow not be the best option for cooling off?

- Bats mostly hunt insects at night. They are able to determine the distance and speed of any prey they are chasing, which has helped them to become excellent nocturnal predators. One potential prey, the tiger moth, has developed two separate methods of evading predation. First, tiger moths emit a toxin that is distasteful to bats, birds, and most other vertebrate predators. Second, they use an organ called a "tymbal" to create a series of high-pitched clicks that only bats can hear, and which identify the tiger moths as something the bats don't like to eat. Bats who prey on tiger moths discover they don't taste very good, learn to identify tiger moths by their clicks, and avoid eating them. Use this information to answer the questions below. Question 1: The scenario above describes a distinct evolutionary interaction. What is it?Can you explain? Question 2: Why is it necessary for the moth to produce both a tymbal click and a toxin? Why not just a toxin?
