Chapter 54, Problem 1IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference in the behavior of lizards living in open environment and the lizards in the shaded environment.
Introduction: The horned lizards have flattened body and spikes on head and body which is distinguishable from their ancestors. These spikes help them to defend against predators. The evolution of horned lizard can be explained by Darwin’s theory of natural selection.

- Question:- What is meant by the term ‘primary health care’? Give 2 examples showing how it links to the social model of health?arrow_forwardDeCasper and Fifer (1980) provided evidence that babies recognize their mothers' voices shortly after birth. Using a nonnutritive nipple attached to a sensing apparatus, DeCasper and Fifer showed that newborns would suck more to hear a tape of their mother's voice compared to a tape of a stranger's voice. Because they were newborns, they must have become familiar with the mother's voice while still in the womb. In a follow-up study, DeCasper and Spence had 16 pregnant mothers read a three minute long passage from the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat to their fetuses twice a day for the last 6.5 weeks of pregnancy. The mothers were also recorded reading three minute excerpts from two other stories. By the time the babies were born, the researchers calculated, they had heard The Cat in the Hat for about 5 hours. DeCasper and Spence used their sucking test again. The babies sucked more to hear The Cat in the Hat, regardless of whether it was in their mother's voice or another woman's…arrow_forward. Simulations 4-6 had lower density of birds (more spacing), how did this influence their ability to escape predation? With more spacing, which number of Junco’s was most advantageous (4, 8, and 16)? Ecologically explain this result. If this flock of birds occurred in an area with low food availability what flock density would you predict? Explain how food availability impacts flock size/competition. Was there a relationship between prop. Vigilance (proportion of birds looking up right before Hawk attack) and the rate at which they escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance (average number of birds looking up each tick) and the rate at which the Junco’s the escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance and the number of birds in the flock?arrow_forward

Why did Brown’s research team create controls by completely fencing study plots and then cutting holes in their sides to allow free passage of rodents into and out of the plot? Why not just compare the density of small rodents in the large granivore removal plots with their densities in the surrounding desert? Why did they look at insectivores and what did the lack of response in insectivores indicate? Why did they repeat their large granivore experiment?arrow_forwardWhat does this information tell you abou the success of certain animals (large vs. small mammals, insects, etc) within an urban ecosystem?arrow_forward

If so, why? If not, why not? Thank you.arrow_forwardquestion: based on the graph, how could you best describe the relationship between the egg size (mass) and the number of eggs? what would be a reason to observe the relationship between the two? from what I have read about, there are several factors that can influence both the size and the number of eggs. also, its not just in butterflies where you can have larger eggs but less in quantity or smaller eggs and more in quantity. I'm trying to just figure out what a good reason for the observation would be based on the grapharrow_forward

Hypothesis: habitat loss due to deforestation causes more endangerment of Varanus mabitang. As humans cut down the forests, These lizards lose habitat and prey that they need to survive.
