Question
Chapter 57.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To describe: The type of relationships seen in Batesian and Mullerian mimicry.
Introduction: In nature, the species developed some anti-predator techniques through which they protect themselves from predators. Batesian and Mullerian mimicry are the examples in which two different species start sharing common features.

If the phylogenetic species concept (PSC) were used to define species, rather than the biological species concept (BSC), how might that change the estimates of species diversity (numbers of species) on a worldwide basis?
True or False: Estimates of species diversity are likely to change if the PSC is used. In particular, one would expect the number of species to increase. This is because individuals from divergent allopatric populations that can potentially interbreed would belong to the same species under the BSC. These same organisms would be classified as members of different species under the PSC.
Based on the interaction between species A and species B in the previous question, choose the most likely combination of alpha and beta coefficients.a. alpha = 1, beta = 10b. alpha = 10, beta = 1c. alpha = 1, beta = 1d. alpha = 0, beta = 1Previous questionTwo species of aquatic snails live in a nearby creek. Species A is a very strong competitor of Species B, who is a weak competitor. What do you expect will happen to the realized niche of Species B if both species share the same fundamental niche? IT decreases
Consider the graphic that is presented and depicts the end-point for the following scenario.
At some point in the past, species A resided as a large population entirely within a rectangular geographical area. The population became divided into two isolated populations when, during a major earthquake, a mountain range arose and disrupted gene flow. Over time, the two new populations evolved independently from one another, yielding species B and C. The population comprising species C became divided into two isolated populations when another earthquake created an escarpment that disrupted gene flow. Over time, these two new populations evolved independently from one another, yielding species D and E.Imagine that you were to arrive to the region long after species D and E had evolved, completely oblivious to the scenario that is described above; survey the region for living species in this group; and conduct a cladistic analysis on those species.
Assuming that the data that you were to…

- You arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey populationarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements most accurately describes the example of species interactions for ants, plants and aphids Question 2 options: The burdock plant is negatively affected by a heavy aphid investation, the ants are negatively affected by the aphids and aphids are positively affected by the ants.

Draw a species accumulation curve for the beetles in Area C3, based on the data shown in Table 2. Ensure that you calculate a standard deviation around each average number of species per sample; plot this on this figure. Make sure you label the axes and that you provide a legend. You will need to reassemble the samples in all possible combinations in order to derive the species area curve (provided)arrow_forward

The lack of competition between individuals leads to better survival and reproduction rates. The utilization of different resources requires different adaptations, selecting for different traits. The lack of competition leads to a more balanced ecosystem, resulting in more offspring. There is no connection between adaptive radiation and the resource partitioning in nature.arrow_forward
