Which of the following statements is true regarding the impact of the environment
on snake behavior?
In wet climates, a snake is more active because it does not lose as
much heat via evaporation.
In hot weather, a snake is more active because it can gain body heat by
conduction.
In cold weather, a snake is less active because the food supply is
decreased.
In dry climates, a snake is less active because there is less moisture in
the air.
Predators never drive their prey extinct, because then they would go extinct themselves.

The females brood their eggs and young fry in their mouths. A female picks up her orange eggs almost as quickly as she lays them. As this happens, the male cichlid that made the “nest” may move in front of her and spread his anal fin, which in many species is decorated with a line of large orange spots. The female may try to pick up the objects on the fin. As she does, the male releases his sperm, some of which swim into the female’s mouth, where they fertilize her eggs (Egger et al. 2011). If sensory exploitation explains the evolutionary origin of the female’s behavior, what prediction can you make about how female fish of a related species will respond to the normally unspotted anal fins of males that have been painted with colorful egg-like spots?

- Barnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whales neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles. Barnacles follow r selection strategies. The calcium carbonate covering that protects barnacles is an adaptation that probably evolved as a result of what type of pressure? a) Density independent b) Predation c) Biotic d) Facultative symbiosisarrow_forwardBarnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean.
