Concept introduction: The speciation and development of fledglings of birds include the designing of experiments in which different songs are played near the fledglings. They get oriented towards the songs, but are not allowed to hear the real bird sounds and voices, for example in the white-crowned sparrow. The fledglings then learn the songs from the group of birds, which gets imprinted in their memory and they recognize it. This song patterns are learned much faster than the artificial songs played during the experiments. This is called as the “learned behavior” in birds.

- Apply Evolutionary Thinking How do human activities (such as destruction of natural habitats, diversion of rivers, and the construction of buildings) influence the chances that new species of plants and animals will evolve in the future? Frame your answer in terms of the geographical and genetic factors that foster speciation.arrow_forwardReview View Help Editing A BI U v Ev E E E E A Question 3 Females are usually the limiting sexual resource in populations.

Based on theforaging experiments described in this chapter, devise asimple hypothesis to explain the presence of both for Rand forsalleles in natural fly populationsarrow_forwardQ1: Chihuahua and Great Dane dogs are of the same species but do not usually mate, why? A. Because chihuahua are usually located in Asia and Great Danes are from EuropeB. Because their reproductive organs are not compatibleC. Because their sperm and their egg will not recognize each otherD. Because chihuahua/great dane do not recognize the courtship of each other Q2: During his time, even if his contributions to the field of taxonomy is significant, he did not believe that resemblances are due to evolution, but of the Divine creation.
