Behavioral ecologists have asked whether or not the wasps’ willingness to lay eggs in less suitable hosts varies with the female’s age.

- Ms. Rodriquez held up a picture of an owl and a green sea turtle and explained to the class that they have several things in common. She explained that they are both nocturnal animals and that the word nocturnal refers to animals that sleep during the day and are active at night. She asked the class to list three additional ways that the owl and the green sea turtle are similar. What are some other similarities between owls and green sea turtles?arrow_forward5c) Do you believe that experiments might be useful in determining the adaptive function of the pecten, if it indeed serves an adaptive function?

As you can see, males demonstrate aggression only when both the red patch and the territorial call are produced by the decoy model. If the decoy model was actually another male redwing blackbird, what behavior would it be engaged in (be as detailed/specific as possible) Again, the question is asking what behavior the decoy model would be engaged in if it was a living bird.
