Certain plants live in nutrient poor environments and have evolved specialised leaves that attract, trap and digest insects for food. The interaction between the plants and the insects they consume is BEST described as:
Select one:
a. commensalism.
b. parasitism.
c. herbivory.
d. predation
Two related species of African lovebirds exhibit very different ways of carrying nesting materials back to the nest. The Fisher’s lovebird carries nesting material back using its beak, while the peach faced lovebird tucks nesting material in the feathers of its rump. The observation that hybrid lovebirds exhibit intermediate behaviours suggests that nest building behaviour in lovebirds is due to:
Select one:
a. gene by environment interaction.
b. environmental factors.
c. genetic factors.
d. imprinting.
Which of the following is NOT a defense against predation?
O A. Body morphology allowing for great bursts of speed
B. Aposematic coloration
C. Resource partitioning
D. Production of secondary compounds
E. Synchronous production of seeds at long intervals

- Which of the following relationships is least likely to result in coevolution? O A. Mutualism O B. Host-parasite O C. Amensalism O D. Predator-prey O E. Competition Moving to another question will save this response.arrow_forwardWhich of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships? A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant. B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird. C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators. D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.arrow_forwardWhich of the following terms best describes the biological scenario where species that look similar in allopatry look different in sympatry? a. Character displacement b. Tempo c. Fusion d. Post-zygotic barriersarrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is associated with long-term parental care? a. few offspring b. many offspring c. semelparity d. fecundityarrow_forwardHow can a commensalism become a mutualism? a. A commensalism cannot become a mutualism. b. An interaction that was once harmful to one species becomes beneficial to both species. c. An interaction that was once harmful to both species becomes beneficial to one species. d. An interaction that was once beneficial to both species becomes beneficial to only one species. e. An interaction that was once beneficial to one species becomes beneficial to both species.arrow_forward
- Although a species might be physiologically able to live under a wide range of resource conditions, competitors may restrict its use of resources in a particular location. This is known as a character displacement. b mutualism. c realized niche. d fundamental niche. e interference competition.arrow_forwardCompetitive exclusion occurs under the following conditions: a. when fundamental niches overlap and competition is asymmetric b. when realized niches overlap and competition is asymmetric c. when fundamental niches overlap and competition is symmetric d. when realized niches overlap and competition is symmetric e. when competition is excluded because niches do not overlaparrow_forwardWhich of the following defines the role of a species in a community,including its habitat and interaction with other species?a. ecological niche d. mimicryb. competitive exclusion e. None of these are correct.c. competition levelarrow_forward
- uppose frogs that hide in the grasses on the edge of a lake are less likely to be eaten by fish, and more likely to reproduce, than frogs that swim in the open lake. Hiding and swimming behavior are reliably passed to offspring. Hiding in the grasses exhibited by generations of frogs is an example of a(n): Group of answer choices A. genetic mutation. B. independent variable. C. acclimatization. D. adaptation. E. abiotic factor.arrow_forwardMany areas of the US have been overgrown by Kudzu and native soil plants have vanished from the region. This is an example of: Select one: O a. Commensalism occurring between the kudzo and native plants O b. A predator prey relationship between ground plants and kudzu Oc. Competition occurring between the native and invasive species d. Parasitism between kudzu and the native plantsarrow_forwardHow does a defense mechanism (behavioural, cryptic colouration, protective colouration, mimicry) affect predation and competition? a) Provide an example of a defense mechanism that you have not encountered in the course or in the online assignments. Include an image depicting the defence mechanism, describe the defence mechanism and cite your sources. b) Hypothesize how this defence mechanism may have evolved over time due to pressure from predation and/or competition.arrow_forward
