Canals in the skulls of Tiktaalik show that it had a lateral line system. The function of this system is to ______.
detect movement of the water
find fish by echolocation
sense ground vibrations that could indicate a predator was approaching
The honeybee dance language transmits information about distance to food by way of_____ signals. a. tactile c. acoustical b. chemical d. visual
Anurans
Most anurans breed in water and rainfall stimulates breeding in many species. Ponds may attract aggregations of anurans during breeding season and males usually are the first to arrive. In most cases, females are attracted by vocalizations by males (see beginning of our lab manual).
1) This display is called “semaphoring”. Why was this behavioral adaptation necessary for this particular frog species?

- 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?
