Textbook Question
Chapter 51.1, Problem 2CC
WHAT IF? Ø Suppose you exposed various fish species from the minnows’ environment to the alarm substance from minnows. Thinking about natural selection, suggest why some species might respond like minnows, some might increase their activity, and some might show no change.

Adaptation is an important component for species survival. Genes get selected for based on pressures. It is now
known that several species (bacteria, plants, and animals) adaptions potentially reflect a response to human
actions. Which of the following represent examples of how species are adapting to human behaviors? Choose all
that apply.
O Dandelions getting longer in areas that are constantly mowed
O Bacteria exhibiting antibiotic resistance
O The peppered moth expressing dark coloration genes during the industrial revolution
O Cholera bacteria becoming more mild when water sources are cleaner
Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing?
"Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either
simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the
most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which
presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another."
An interaction network.
A predator/prey cycle.
O Coevolution.
An obligate mutualism.
Over time, species have evolved in response to
interactions between predator and prey. These
adaptations include the evolution of various
defense mechanisms.
Match the following defense mechanisms with
the correct definition.
Aposematic

- Think back to Section 44.6. When researchers moved guppies from populations preyed on by cichlids to a habitat with killifish, the life histories of the transplanted guppies evolved. They came to resemble those of guppy populations preyed on by killifish. Males became gaudier; some scales formed larger, more colorful spots. How might a decrease in predation pressure on sexually mature fish allow this change?arrow_forwardFigure 47.16 Which of the following statements is not supported by this graph? There are more vulnerable fishes than critically endangered and endangered fishes combined. There are more critically endangered amphibians than vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered reptiles combined. Within each group, there are more critically endangered species than vulnerable species. A greater percentage of bird species are critically endangered than mollusk species.arrow_forwardI am doing an ecology research paper on Brown Anole Lizard Distribution, to perform my experiment I will choose 4 spots in a park such as a lake, a shaded tree, a boardwalk, and a sidewalk. then to quantify my results I will go three times a day for five weeks and count how many lizards I see in each area. I need help thinking of a testable hypothesis? This is often similar to your research question, however, it can be answered with the numbers you will collect. For example, a research question could be: Which is better, a park or a nature preserve? A testable hypothesis would be: Do parks or preserves have higher bird populations?arrow_forward

Algae and other phytoplankton are not abundant in aquatic communities Species with identical niches do not cost O Stable predator-prey relationships exist.

The crabs use their claws and jaws to crack open the shells of the sea snails, and so, by the principle of natural selection, any snail with a thicker shell would have an advantage and thicker shells would become more abundant. This in turn would create a selective pressure for stronger claws and jaws in the crabs, which in turn would give a selective advantage to snails with even thicker shells. This type of interaction between predators and prey is an example of A)secondary succession B) coevolution C)primary succession D)symbiosis E)competitionarrow_forward
- Figure 45.10b If the major food source of the seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. The number of seal deaths would increase but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.arrow_forwardThe way an individual's energy is divided among growth, maintenance, and reproduction is controlled by the species' genes and is shaped by natural selection.
