Background
As an expert in the field of mammalian reproductive strategies, you have been hired by the Department of
Nature and Island Resources of the West Indies. This organization is a cooperative of several West Indies
islands concerned with the loss of biological diversity on their island nations as tourism and development
continue to grow. Scientists working on the island of St. Kitts and its sister island Nevis have uncovered what
appears to be a previously undiscovered species of rodent.
Based on the original description of this animal, it was placed in a genus within the squirrel family. What
you have been hired to do is to help save the population on St. Kitts, which is small and threatened by
development. The population is so small that individuals are having difficulty finding mates and, in many
cases, the reproductive seasons are being delayed by up to one year. When you arrive in the region and begin
your observations, you notice that the Nevis population is very healthy…
Question:-

Respond to the following paragraph below?
I've been thinking a lot about the theories of why humans evolved to become bipedal, and have been watching a lot of specials on YouTube. One of the things that interests me, is one of the ancient human ancestors evolved to be a mixed form of bipedal and not. I find that extremely interesting, because at the time that this being lived Africa was still largely covered in dense jungle/forest and the being still has to climb trees. It was the perfect inbetween of humans and apes or chimps. There was still some m grabbing capability in its feet to allow it to imb trees, but was also able to straighten and reach for higher places. In the video the theory is that these primitive apes needed to reach higher food that others weren't able to, and also had to carry the food for longer distances. One thing that continues from this was the African landscape starting to shift from jungle to savana. With walking upright, they took less heat from the sun,…

- Please answer all for the UPVOTE. This is just a TRUE or FALSE. No long explanation is needed. BIOLOGY A. In the 1810s, Charles Darwin outlined a comprehensive theory of evolution in which animals in the course of their lives become more complex and better adapted and then pass these changes onto their offspring. B. The information generated by secondary research contributes to the growing body of scientific knowledge, and it provides the scientific foundation utilized by applied research. C. Ernst Haeckel’s “tree of life is a sort of linear deontological version of evolution. D.

Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be "No animals may be used in research of any kind." However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think would be beneficial to still be done.

I know you have some captive male orangutans at the National Zoo and I'm hoping you'll help me collect some growth, development, and behavior data on these animals. I've enlisted the cooperation of curators at other zoos in the U.S. to help me assemble this database on juvenile male orangutan development. "As you may know," Anne continued, “when juvenile males are housed together, some begin to develop the characteristic secondary sex characteristics at age four, resulting in the massive body size, large cheek flanges and laryngeal sac, while others stay juvenile looking but grow to nearly adult size.

Pls & thank you 6. a) As you know chimpanzees in neighboring groups in the forest show 4-5 times as much genetic difference as any two human populations. Is it reasonable to expect that trait that show genetic variation in humans, such as the structure of the hand and the brain, might show significant variation between chimpanzee populations? Why or why not? 6. b) A number of behaviors that exhibit cultural evolution, such as tool-using, also have genes that favor such learning. Could different populations of chimpanzees have different genetic predispositions to show cultural evolution? 6. c) Is there any evidence of observational learning present in the photograph? Would you need additional evidence to show that observational learning is occurring? Why or why not? Picture reference: Futuyma, D. J. (2017). Chapter 21 Evolution and Homo sapiens.

- Hi! I am interested in getting some help with this question. This spectacular animal is a Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, from the highlands of Papua New Guinea. In the context of various evolutionary phenomena we have discussed this semester, why do you suppose: (a) This bird is confined to New Guinea and two nearby islands? Why would you not expect to find it in the mountains of Borneo? (b) This spectacular tail presumably attracts predators; why hasn’t natural selection acted to reduce it or camouflage it?arrow_forwardHello, I need help answering number 1 a, b, & c using the graph below. Pls & thank you 1. a) Is it possible that the larger brain size of the gorilla is just a correlated response to selection for a larger body size in the gorilla (compared to the body size of the chimpanzee)? Does the information in the graph support or falsify this claim? b) Fossil evidence shows that it was not until the evolution of Homo erectus that the brain size in hominins really began to increase relative to body size. The range in brain size of early Homo erectus to late Homo erectus increased from 700 cc to 1000 cc (similar to the gram scale on the y-axis). This includes most of the 3x increase of brain size from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. But Homo erectus was about the height of modern humans. Does the graph show that brain size in H. erectus increased faster than body size even though H. erectus was taller than Australopithecus?

What are the excellent sentences in this response, and what are the logical flaws, content errors, or outright stupid comments? What are the main differences between inductive and deductive reasoning in the scientific method? Inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are two methods of reasoning that are commonly used in the scientific method. Inductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions based on observations or experimental data. This method begins with specific observations and then attempts to identify patterns or trends, which can then be used to form a general conclusion. For example, if you observed that a sample of 10 apples from a certain tree were all red, you might conclude that all apples from that tree are red, even though you haven't examined all of them. Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, begins with a general principle or hypothesis and then applies it to a specific case. This method uses logical reasoning to…arrow_forward
