Question
Chapter 57.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To describe: The variation among the bird species with the change of habitat.
Introduction: Variation is a part of evolution which occurs at a very slow rate. Variations are the result of changes in habitat and food over a long period of time. Segregation can be observed even if a similar group of species changes their habitat or food habits after a few generations.

A researcher is comparing two populations of birds with similar morphology that live in similar niches. Male birds in one population build a nest before attempting to court a female, while males in the other population build the nest in cooperation with the female.

- Explain why parapatric speciation is more likely to occur in sedentary organismsarrow_forwardIf the environment does not change, what type of giraffe (short, medium, or long-necked) will increase in frequency over many generations? Why?arrow_forwardIn a population of birds, males have long red tail feathers that they use in mating displays, and also sing in the mornings to attract females. You find that some males have more red feathers in their tails than others, while some sing for longer periods of time. In this bird species, a high proportion of eggs fail to hatch. You measure the number of eggs that successfully hatch that are fathered by each male bird, and find that the number of successful hatchlings is proportional to how long a male sings, but is unrelated to the amount of red in his tail. Question: Propose an explanation for why males evolved both to sing and to have red tails, and how females likely evolved in response to both traits. [Note: avoid writing a paragraph for each sentence prompt; this should still be short, concise answers and Please write four sentences guided by the individual prompts] Your answer: Sentence 1: State which males and which females had the highest fitness.
