- What If? Data from additional studies showed that when soapberrybug eggs from a population that fed on balloon vine fruits were then rearedon goldenrain tree fruits (or vice versa), the beak lengths of the adult insectswere most similar to those in the population from which the eggs were initiallyobtained. Interpret these results.arrow_forwardWHAT IF? Suppose two bird species live in a forestand are not known to interbreed. One species feeds andmates in the treetops and the other on the ground. Butin captivity, the birds can interbreed and produce viable,fertile offspring. What type of reproductive barrier mostlikely keeps these species separate in nature?

- 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_forward1.
