Summary Introduction
To review:
The duration of foraging of the whale before and after the exposure of sound in the ocean. Also, predict the effect of sonar on the whale’s fitness.
Introduction:
Whales communicate with each other using sound under water. They also detect their enemy, food (small fishes), and obstacles using these sound waves. The military sonars produce the same kind of waves, which interfere with the communication of whales with one another. An experiment was performed to check the effect of sound waves on the behavior of a whale. The results are given in the graph below:

Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Speacialization scenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include:
Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance.
Hypothesis: Within the context of specialization, foragers will exhibit differences in foraging efficiency between pure and mixed food types, with the expectation that they will perform more efficiently when searching for their preferred pure food type compared to mixed food. This difference in efficiency may be reflected in factors such as foraging times, success rates, or other relevant measures.

If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: In the context of exclusive ranges, the foraging times would be significantly affected by the introduction of competition, as opposed to territoriality. This increased competition was expected to deplete food resources and result in harassment by competing individuals.arrow_forward
